In the oesophagus (also known as the throat) the food is passed downwards to the stomach (the next step in the digestion system).
To do this "the food pipe" must use what is known as the circular muscle layer and longitudinal muscle layer.

∙ 13y agoThe oesophagus takes a important role in the digestion its because after chewing the food the tongue pushes the food to back of our throat which is the opening of oesophagus which leads it down to stomach.

Unfortunately it and the trachea share a common section in the throat as they cross paths with each other (from front to back), so its easy to get food and liquids into the respiratory system where they don't belong.
