B
Uses Mechanical digestion to break down food.
C
Sends food to your large Int.
D
Sends food to your rectum.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -No digestion occurs in the esophagus. After passage through the esophagus, the bolus will enter the stomach and undergo mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion in the stomach occurs via peristaltic contractions of the smooth muscle from the fundus towards the contracted pylorus, termed propulsion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases. From your stomach, these smaller chains of amino acids move into your small intestine.
