What is the Tube leading from pharynx to stomach?

The tube leading from the pharynx to the stomach is called the esophagus. It is a muscular tube that transports food and liquids from the throat to the stomach through a series of coordinated muscular contractions known as peristalsis. The esophagus is located behind the trachea and is approximately 8 to 10 inches long in adults. It connects to the stomach at the lower esophageal sphincter, which helps prevent the backflow of gastric contents.
