Is the esophagus a muscular organ or not

Question

Illustrate is the esophagus a muscular organ or not? Why even in a patient lying completely flat on a hospital bed can the swallowed food arrive at the stomach?

Answer 1

The esophagus is a pre-dominantly muscular organ therefore the assertion is accurate. The esophagus is a muscular tube made in its superior third of striated muscle tissue, in its middle third of mixed muscle tissue (that is, smooth and striated) and in also its lower third of smooth muscle tissue. The peristalsis of esophagus gives the movement of the food towards stomach even with no gravitational help.
