The esophagus is a muscular tube composed of four layers: the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and adventitia. This 7- to 10-inch tube helps carry food and drink downstream to the stomach. Additionally, sphincters at either end of the esophagus keep air from entering the digestive tract and digestive acid from escaping the stomach.
