The long tube from the mouth to the stomach is called the esophagus. It is a muscular, flexible structure that transports food and liquids from the throat to the stomach through a series of coordinated contractions known as peristalsis. The esophagus connects to the pharynx at the top and the stomach at the bottom, facilitating the passage of ingested materials. Its lining is also designed to withstand the passage of food and prevent reflux.
