Detailed explanation-1: -Food moves through your GI tract by a process called peristalsis. The large, hollow organs of your GI tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement pushes food and liquid through your GI tract and mixes the contents within each organ.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is d. Peristalsis is the movement produced due to the contraction of the muscular wall of the esophagus that helps to propel the food into the stomach.
Detailed explanation-3: -Food moves from one organ to the next through muscle action called peristalsis. Peristalsis looks like an ocean wave traveling through the muscle. The muscle of the organ contracts to create a narrowing and then propels the narrowed portion slowly down the length of the organ.
