Detailed explanation-1: -Peristalsis is the automatic wave-like movement of the muscles that line your gastrointestinal tract. Peristalsis moves food through your digestive system, beginning in your throat when you swallow and continuing through your esophagus, stomach and intestines while you digest.
Detailed explanation-2: -The esophagus is a muscular tube that extends from the pharynx to the stomach. Thanks to its motility, food and liquids move down after swallowing from the pharynx to the stomach. The muscle in the wall of the esophagus moves food and liquid forward by squeezing and pushing them along, the process called peristalsis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Types of esophageal peristalsis In the oesophagus, three types of peristalsis occurs as follows: Primary esophageal peristalsis. Secondary esophageal peristalsis. Tertiary esophageal peristalsis.
