Did you mean 'bag like organ' The stomach is part of the digestive system, which is sometimes called the gastrointestinal tract. It is a muscular, bag-like organ which lies between the lower end of the gullet (oesophagus) and the beginning of the small bowel (small intestine). Once food has been swallowed it passes down the gullet and into the stomach. Both ends of the esophagus are closed off by muscular constrictions known as sphincters; at the anterior, or upper, end is the upper esophageal sphincter, and at the distal, or lower, end is the lower esophageal sphincter. The cardia (also known as Z-line or esophagogastric junction or gastroesophageal junction) is the anatomical term for the junction orifice of the stomach and the esophagus. At the cardia, the mucosa of the esophagus transitions into gastric mucosa. The cardia is also the site of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) (also termed cardiac sphincter, gastroesophageal sphincter, and esophageal sphincter).

What is the flap in your esophagus called?
The name of the structure at the top of the esophagus is the "epiglottis". This structure is very important in protecting the vocal cords, trachea, and the lungs. It does this by covering the opening to the vocal cords and making an airtight seal. It also holds air in our lungs so we can form a cough, and produce extra pressure in our lungs, called "peep" (positive end expiratory pressure). So, it is actually a very important organ.
