Where is the esophageal section of the stomach located?

Answer 1

The oesophagus connects the pharynx and the stomach and is located in the thoracic cavity.

The oesophagus is the muscular tube that enables food to pass from the mouth and pharynx to the stomach.

It is located in the thoracic cavity just behind the trachea (the windpipe that connects the pharynx with the lungs) and in front of the spine.
