The oesophagus is also known as the gullet or food pipe. It’s part of the digestive system, which is sometimes called the gastro-intestinal tract (GI tract). The oesophagus is a long, muscular tube that connects your mouth to your stomach.
It’s around 25cm (10in) long in adults. When you swallow food, the walls of the oesophagus squeeze together (contract). This moves the food down the oesophagus to the stomach.
