Did you mean 'bag like organ' The stomach is part of the digestive system, which is sometimes called the gastrointestinal tract. It is a muscular, bag-like organ which lies between the lower end of the gullet (oesophagus) and the beginning of the small bowel (small intestine). Once food has been swallowed it passes down the gullet and into the stomach. Both ends of the esophagus are closed off by muscular constrictions known as sphincters; at the anterior, or upper, end is the upper esophageal sphincter, and at the distal, or lower, end is the lower esophageal sphincter. The cardia (also known as Z-line or esophagogastric junction or gastroesophageal junction) is the anatomical term for the junction orifice of the stomach and the esophagus. At the cardia, the mucosa of the esophagus transitions into gastric mucosa. The cardia is also the site of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) (also termed cardiac sphincter, gastroesophageal sphincter, and esophageal sphincter).
it is in the throat area, u put stuff like food in ur mouth and it goes down the esophagus. then to the stomach yadda yadda yadda. then it goes into the endocrine system and makes u fat and bloaty & stuff
1. your throat 2. the tube through which food passes from the pharnyx to the stomach; 3. also called your gullet
The sack like muscular organ that is attached to the esophagus is the stomach.
The esophagus begins at the pharynx and at the stomach.
A sphincter is at the end of the esophagus connecting to the stomach which keeps the food from coming back out and lets more food in
The oesophagus ends in the stomach.
Stomach.
stomach
The esophagus and trachea open into the throat and mouth.
yes, they connect at the pharynx or more commonly called the throat. but every time you swallow the epiglottis (end of the tongue) covers the trachea (windpipe) so that the food or liquid can get to the esophagus hope that helps
There are two parts to a stomach: the pyloric section (lower) and the cardiac section (upper). The cardiac section is the place where most of the carbohydrate digestion occurs and it's right after the esophagus. It can also be called the "cardia."
The name of the structure at the top of the esophagus is the "epiglottis". This structure is very important in protecting the vocal cords, trachea, and the lungs. It does this by covering the opening to the vocal cords and making an airtight seal. It also holds air in our lungs so we can form a cough, and produce extra pressure in our lungs, called "peep" (positive end expiratory pressure). So, it is actually a very important organ.
Your esophagus traverses the thoracic cavity in the body. If it is patulous, that means that the sphincter muscle at one end is open, and is not working properly.
The ring at the end of the esophagus is the lower esophageal sphincter.
The end bit of the esophagus is the stomach. But before the stomach there's the gastroesophageal junction which leads into the stomach. Just above the junction there is the diaphragm (but that isn't attached to the esophagus) .
The pharynx, or throat, carries both food an air. At its end, air goes into the trachea and food into the esophagus.
The esophagus and trachea open into the throat and mouth.

The cardiac sphincter.
There are two parts to a stomach: the pyloric section (lower) and the cardiac section (upper). The cardiac section is the place where most of the carbohydrate digestion occurs and it's right after the esophagus. It can also be called the "cardia."
All mammals and reptiles have an esophagus. The esophagus extends from the end of the windpipe to the stomach and is part of the digestive system.
The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. When you swallow, muscles in the esophagus contract to push food down towards the stomach through a series of coordinated muscle movements called peristalsis. The esophageal sphincter at the lower end of the esophagus opens to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to prevent backflow.
The Organ ended in 2006.
An endoscope is used to view the stomach and esophagus through a procedure called an endoscopy. It is a flexible tube with a light and camera on the end that is inserted through the mouth and into the digestive tract to provide internal images for diagnosis and treatment.
A band of muscles at the opening of the stomach called the Cardiac (due to its proximity to the heart) Sphincter.
