The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach for digestion. It uses rhythmic contractions to push the food down and prevent it from going back up.
From the oesophagus the food moves towards the stomach. Oesophagus acts as the passage way from mouth to stomach. Stomach lies in your abdomen. The mouth is above the thorax. The gap is filled in by the oesophagus.
