The esophagus is a muscular tube in the human body that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. It plays a crucial role in the digestive system by transporting food and liquids that have been swallowed down to the stomach for further digestion. The esophagus is lined with mucous membranes and has muscular contractions, known as peristalsis, which help move the contents along.
