- The esophagus (American English) or oesophagus (informally known as the food pipe or gullet) is a vertebrate organ that transports food from the throat to the stomach via peristaltic contractions.
- The oesophagus is a fibromuscular tube that runs below the trachea and heart, past the diaphragm, and into the top section of the stomach in adults.
- The epiglottis tilts backwards during swallowing to prevent food from passing down the larynx and lungs.
