Where is the esophagus in comparison to the heart and the aorta? the heart closest to the beast bone and then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Touch: The heart, aorta, and esophagus are intimate partners: they touch each other. The esophagus touches both the heart and parts of the aorta. (The aorta arises from the heart, arches and travels south behind the heart).
