What are oesophagus

Oesophagus

  • Oesophagus is also called the food pipe.
  • It runs along the neck and the chest.
  • The food from mouth after swallowing passes into oesophagus and is pushed down to stomach by a special movement called peristalsis.
  • This peristaltic movement takes place through out the alimentary canal which pushes the food in downwards direction.
  • At some times the stomach is not ready to take up food causing vomiting, where food is expelled out from the oesophagus to mouth by reverse peristaltic movement.
