the ESOPHAGUS is a tube in the throat which food goes down when you swallow. (swallowing is mostly involuntary because the esophagus is made of smooth muscle, a type of muscle that works without control of the brain.) The food goes down into the stomach. On the top half of the esophagus is a sphincter, as well as on the bottom half. they help close off the esophagus.
