Yes, the esophagus is located behind the trachea (windpipe) and sits in front of the cervical vertebrae (the bones of the neck) and the muscles of the neck. Specifically, in the upper part of the neck, the esophagus is positioned posterior (behind) to the trachea and anterior (in front of) the cervical spine. This anatomical relationship is important for various medical procedures and understanding conditions that can affect swallowing or breathing.
