Why this happens that we eat food and it goes downward not upwards

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution of your asked query:

The food we ingest doesn't go upwards because our oesophagus(food pipe) is directed downwards. As we eat the food the food goes down through the oesophagus and directly enters our stomach moreover the peristaltic movements also aids in downward movement of food.

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.

Keep asking!!
