The area where the esophagus passes through the diaphragm is known as the esophageal hiatus. This opening allows the esophagus to connect the throat to the stomach, facilitating the passage of food. The diaphragm muscles surrounding this hiatus help prevent acid reflux by contracting during swallowing. It is located at the level of the tenth thoracic vertebra (T10) in the spinal column.
