Answer 1

the movement of food in Oesophagus is known as peristalsis (B)

Answer 2

Answer:

b) Perstalsis

Explanation:

Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract. It starts in the esophagus where strong wave-like motions of the smooth muscle move balls of swallowed food to the stomach. There, the food is churned into a liquid mixture called chyme that moves into the small intestine where peristalsis continues.
