The esophagus is the muscular tube connecting your mouth to your stomach. The muscles are a special type, smooth muscle tissue which contracts and relaxs without conscious thought. The movement is controlled by nerve tissues ad the contractions move the food along.
It is located between where your stomach and 'food tube (eosophagus)' join. It prevents the reflux or return of foods, digestive juices (including hydrochloric acid) back into your eosophagus. Continual reflux will cause damage to the eosophagus.
