The esophagus typically has a diameter of about 0.6 to 1 inch (approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm) in adults, making it larger than the airway (trachea), which has a diameter of about 0.8 to 1 inch (approximately 2 to 2.5 cm). The esophagus serves as a muscular tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach, while the airway carries air to and from the lungs.
