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.

Looking at the drawing carefully, the message the artist was trying to pass about invasive species is that they are monsters that suffocate, hinder, or devour other species found in the environment.

Generally, invasive species are species of living organisms that have the capacity to outcompete other species in any environment they are introduced to. Invasive species operates using different strategies. Some of the strategies include:

  • high rate of reproduction
  • high rate of survival
  • secretion of chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of other species in the environment
  • high dispersal rate

Using different combinations of these strategies, invasive species gradually take over any environment they get introduced to once they get themselves acclimatized to it.
