Answer:
Oesophagus.
Explanation:
Oesophagus is a pipe like structure that connects the mouth through the stomach. During peristalsis food that has been ingested slides down the oesophugus in bolus ball like with the help of the muscular walls of the oesophagus that relax to allow the flow of food into the stomach. The oesophagal muscles contract when food reaches the stomach to prevent backflow of stomach digestion acids.
