Answer:

it moves by the process of peristalsis

Step-by-step explanation:

the bolus is pushed from the oesophagus to the stomach by peristalsis. bolus is then thoroughly mixed with digestive juices in the stomach by the churning movements. the digested food is now in a form of chyme and is pushed into the small intestine , in the small intestine nutrients are absorbed by the villus . the chyme is turned into a semi solid form as feaces where it is temporarily stored in the rectum until it gets released at the anus
