FALSE!

Food moves from the mouth into the larynx which then goes down the esophagus by peristalsis.

Hope this helped! :)

This is false. The tube that leads from the mouth to the stomach is called the esophagus. The trachaea leads from the mouth to the lungs, and is used in respiration, not digestion.
Hope that helped! =)
