The esophagus is effective at its job of transporting food from the mouth to the stomach due to its muscular structure and coordinated peristaltic movements. Its lining is designed to withstand abrasion from food, while mucus production aids in lubrication. Additionally, the presence of a sphincter at both ends helps prevent backflow and ensures that food moves in the right direction. These features work together to facilitate efficient swallowing and protect the digestive system.
the oesophagus allows food to be passed through into the stomach by peristalisis.
