Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Esophagus: The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the pharynx (throat) to the stomach. The esophagus contracts as it moves food into the stomach. A “valve” called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is located just before the opening to the stomach.
Detailed explanation-2: -The food pipe or oesophagus is a long muscular tube which provides a passageway for the food from the buccal cavity to the stomach. The food pipe shows peristalsis which is an involuntary movement of muscles in a wave-like pattern.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pharynx-is the muscle-lined space that connects the nose and mouth to the larynx and esophagus (eating tube).
