+The [Esophagus](/wiki/esophagus) is a muscular tube within the [Digestive System](/wiki/digestive_system) that serves as a vital pathway, connecting the pharynx to the stomach. Through wave-like contractions called peristalsis, it efficiently guides swallowed food downwards, preparing it for the next stage of digestion.
