Answer:

The oesophagus (or esophagus) is also called the gullet. It is the part of the gastrointestinal system between the mouth and the stomach. It connects the pharynx and the stomach. It is about 25 centimetres (9.8 in) long. it passes through the thoracic cavity, pierces the diaphragm and leads to the stomach.

The oesophagus is lined with muscle. This muscle pushes food down into the stomach. The oesophagus can contract or expand to allow for the passage of food.

Its function is to transport food and fluid, after being swallowed, from the mouth to the stomach. ... This is propelled from the pharynx (throat) into the oesophagus, and is swept towards the stomach in peristaltic waves.
