Answer:

The esophagus or oesophagus, informally known as the food pipe or gullet, is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach. The esophagus is a fibromuscular tube, about 25 cm long in adults, which travels behind the trachea and heart, passes through the diaphragm and empties into the uppermost region of the stomach. During swallowing, the epiglottis tilts backwards to prevent food from going down the larynx and lungs. The word oesophagus is from Ancient Greek οἰσοφάγος, from οἴσω, future form of φέρω + ἔφαγον.

Anatomy. Every feature of esophageal anatomy reflects its purpose as part of the system that delivers nutrition and liquid through the body.

Function. As the upper portion of the digestive system, the esophagus’s primary role is to carry food and liquid down to the stomach.

Answer:

The third sentence is not correct. The correct statement would be as follows:

because the contents of the lumen of ER (or any other compartment) in the secretory or endocytic pathways never mix with the cytosol, Proteins that enter these pathways is never imported again.

Explanation:

During mitosis, specifically during prophase, when the nuclear envelope breaks down, or in other words, retracts from the chromatin, its content that is the membrane protein intermix with the ER membrane protein. However its content will always remain separated from that of the cytosol because of the presence of an intact membrane.
