How is the oesophagus adapted to its function?
The structure is a 15 centimeter (sorry don't know inches) muscular tube. It ends in the oesophageal sphincter at the base of the oesophagus. Its function is to join the mouth with the stomach. It pushes food through by peristalsis (squeezing of the muscles). Another name is the gullet. Hope I helped!
