The function of the esophagus is to transport material from the mouth to the stomach, and to prevent GER by providing an important barrier, that is, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), to the retrograde flow of gastric contents into the esophagus.

The esophagus serves to pass food and liquids from the mouth down to the stomach. This is accomplished by periodic contractions (peristalsis) instead of gravity. With vomiting, these contractions are reversed, allowing stomach contents to be returned to the mouth to spit out.
