• Muscle layer
• Circular and longitudinal
• Mixing, mashing action
• Peristaltic action
• Enteral nervous system
• Serosal layer
• Peritoneal membranes

Peristalsis :
• Waves of muscle contraction, relaxation
• Pushes food from mouth toward anus
• Peristaltic movements differ from organ to

Eating and
Swallowing:
• Mouth
• Pharynx
• Esophagus
• Esophageal sphincters
• Pharyngoesophageal
• Lower esophageal
Eating and Swallowing:
• When food passes through the pharynx, it is directed into the
esophagus and not the trachea, primarily because the epiglottis
closes the entrance to the trachea.
TRY: put your fingers on the upper throat and swallow. They
should detect upward movement.
