Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a bundle of muscles at the low end of the esophagus, where it meets the stomach. When the LES is closed, it prevents acid and stomach contents from traveling backwards from the stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -The esophagus is a muscular tube about ten inches (25 cm.) long, extending from the hypopharynx to the stomach. The esophagus lies posterior to the trachea and the heart and passes through the mediastinum and the hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm, in its descent from the thoracic to the abdominal cavity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your esophagus – located behind your trachea – passes food and liquid from your pharynx to your stomach.
