The gullet, commonly referred to as the esophagus, is a muscular tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. It runs behind the trachea and heart and passes through the diaphragm before leading into the stomach. Its primary function is to transport food and liquids that have been swallowed from the mouth to the stomach for digestion.
