The body system that includes the esophagus and stomach is the digestive system. The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair.

The process starts when food is taken into the mouth where it is chewed and mixed with saliva that starts to break down the food into a form that the body can absorb and use. The chewed food then travels down the esophagus, a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach
