Best Answer
The gullet the The oesophagus are the same thing......After the food has been swallowed, it's carried down the oesophagus (a muscular tube) towards the stomach. The oesophagus can contract and relax in order to propel the food onwards, and each mouthful of food takes about six seconds to reach the stomach once swallowed.

Strictly speaking you do not have a gizzard.

A gizzard is a part of the digestive system ('gut') of some animals specialised for grinding up food. It is present in animals such as birds, reptiles, some fishand earthworms.

The term can be loosely used, in a non-scientific sense, to mean the digestive system or intestines of a human.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gizzard

The gullet can mean the esophagus in higher level animals, but in lower level species particularly invertebrates it's used for digestion as well. Can have lateral muscles which carries out mechanical digestion by grinding the food making smaller pieces.
