What does the esophagus do?

by Qcrew 14 years ago
The basic function of the esophagus is to propel food or liquids into the stomach. If your stomach has too much acid, food or bile, the contents will reflux back into the esophagus, which causes heartburn. Some pople may often suffer heartburn, which can damage their esophageal lining due to the stomach acid.
