What is bigger the esophagus or the trachea?

The esophagus is generally larger in diameter than the trachea. The esophagus, which is a muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach, has a diameter of about 2-3 centimeters, while the trachea, which is the windpipe that carries air to the lungs, typically has a diameter of about 1-2 centimeters. However, their sizes can vary slightly among individuals.
