No, peristalsis does not occur only in the esophagus. It is a coordinated, wave-like muscle contraction that moves food along the entire digestive tract, including the stomach and intestines. This process helps to propel food through the gastrointestinal system, ensuring proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
