Peristalsis squeezes your esophageal muscles from top to bottom, pushing food and liquid along...... If you could see peristalsis, it would look like a wave passing down your esophagus.......To keep food and liquids moving in the right direction, your digestive tract has special muscles along its course called sphincters.
