The epiglottis in pigs is used to block food from getting stuck in the throat. The function in humans is to facilitate food movement into the esophagus.
A stomach is attached the esophagus. A pigs anatomy is a lot like a human most people use pigs to understand the human anatomy.
The esophagus in pigs functions to transport ingested food from the mouth to the stomach through a process called peristalsis. It is a muscular tube lined with mucus-secreting cells that helps lubricate and aid in the passage of food.
The Esophagus
The peristaltic movements are muscle contractions and its function on the esophagus is to push food down into the stomach and prevent it from going back into the esophagus.
It lubricates the esophagus and assists in swallowing.
Esophagus
In all vertebrates (including but not limited to pigs and humans) it connect to the stomach via the pharynx.
The function of the esophagus is to connect the throat to the stomach. This allow food and/or liquid to reach the stomach after it is swallowed.
The throat contains the esophagus and the trachea. The esophagus is for food and the trachea is for air.
The esophagus appears shorter in pigs than in some other animals because pigs have a relatively large head and neck, which makes the esophagus appear shorter in proportion to their size. Additionally, pigs have a wide, muscular esophagus that can accommodate large food particles, so it may seem shorter compared to other animals.
