About this listen
In today's episode, Captain Curious slows down time inside the esophagus to find out how food actually travels from the mouth to the stomach. We hear what peristalsis is, learn about the powerful sphincters at the top and bottom of the esophagus, discover how the slippery mucosa helps food slide safely, and find out why water and hot tea feel so different as they rush past on the way to the stomach.
