Difference between Bezoar and Esophagus

Bezoar vs. Esophagus

A bezoar is a mass found trapped in the gastrointestinal system, though it can occur in other locations. The esophagus (American English) or oesophagus (British English), commonly known as the food pipe or gullet (gut), is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach.
