The esophagus is a very important part of the digestive system, passing chewed food to the stomach, where it will be churned, mixed with bile from the livers and gallbladder, mixed with enzymes from the pancreas, and then mixed with stomach acid. The esophagus is the pipe that leads to the stomach.
