Answer #1

The esophageal wall in its superior portion is made of skeletal striated muscle. The inferior portion is made of smooth muscle. In the intermediate portion there are skeletal striated and smooth muscles. All of these muscles are important to push the food down towards the stomach.

the smooth non striated muscles move in a wave like motion by regulated contractions and relaxtions down the peristalis causing food to be pushed down the oesophagus.
