Question

what is food pipe,.............​

Answer 1

Explanation:

food pipe (oesophagus) is part of your digestive system. It is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. It lies behind the windpipe (trachea) and in front of the spine. At the top of the oesophagus there is a ring of muscle (sphincter).

Answer 2

Answer:

Food pipe is a muscular tube which is 25 centimetres long, passing just behind the heart region connecting the mouth to the stomach. It is made up of connective tissues and is the uppermost part of the digestive system.

The veins and arteries that pass through the oesophagus or food pipe are called oesophageal veins and oesophageal arteries respectively. The upper part of oesophagus is behind the windpipe. Oesophagus joins the stomach at a point called the gastro-oesophageal junction. When we swallow food, oesophagus contracts and squeezes the food which pushes the food down towards the stomach.
