| The esophagus or oesophagus is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach. The esophagus is a fibromuscular tube, that travels behind the trachea and heart. During swallowing, the epiglottis tilts backwards to prevent food from going down the larynx and lungs.The trachea is the long tube that connects your larynx to your bronchi. Bronchi send air to your lungs. Trachea is a key part of respiratory system. The trachea is made of rings of cartilage. It is lined with cells that produce mucus. |
