The esophagus is a hollow, muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach and delivers food. It has a prominent muscularis mucosa and thick muscularis externa and is lined by a stratified squamous epithelium. The muscularis externa of the esophagus is distinctive in a sense that it gooes from striated to smooth muscle along its length. Moreover, the gastro-esophageal junction is the site where the esophagus stops.
