The esophagus, also called the esophagus, is a muscular, fibrous cavity-like structure that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach. About 25 cm long, running behind the trachea and heart, through the diaphragm and through the upper part of the stomach, the bladder is about 8 inches long and covered with a mucous membrane. It is part of the digestive system and is called the esophagus
What is Trachea?
The trachea is a wide, hollow, muscular, tubular structure located in the throat. It is part of the respiratory system that connects the larynx (voice box) and bronchi to the lungs. The trachea, also known as the trachea, is 10 to 11 cm long.
