The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. It is responsible for transporting food down into the stomach through a series of muscular contractions known as peristalsis. The peritoneum is a membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and organs, ligaments are bands of connective tissue that connect bones, and the pancreas is an organ located near the stomach that produces digestive enzymes. Bolus refers to a small mass of food that is formed in the mouth during chewing and is then swallowed.
