If you are referring to the digestive system, I believe this would be the pyloric sphincter. After the stomach turns dry food into a wet mass, it delivers it to the duodenum via the pyloric sphincter (muscle).

What is the function of oesophagua?

You mean the ESOPHAGUS. It is the muscular tube that leads down from the throat to the stomach, through which chewed food passes to be chemically dissolved in the stomach. Technically, it begins just below the area where the larynx is located, and ends at the Cardiac Sphincter. It assists the passage of food down to the stomach by a process called peristalsis, by which rings of muscle squeeze the chewed food downwards.


Where most of the digestion in the digestive tract occurs?

In order: Mouth, Asophogus, Stomach, Pancreas, Gallblader, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Rectum, Anus. Mostly in the stomach where food is Mechanically (physically) changed when the stomach muscles squeeze the food. Chemical change also happened when the acids in the stomach separate nutrients, break down food, and kill bacteria. When the two are combined, the food turns into a soupy-like mixture called chyme, which has alot of acid in it from the stomch. I hope that's what you wanted.
