What two types of smooth muscle surrounds the esophagus?
The body of the esophagus is bounded by physiologic sphincters known as the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. The upper sphincter is composed largely of a muscle that is closely associated with the larynx. When relaxed, as it is during swallowing, this muscle pulls the larynx forward and aids in routing food into the esophagus instead of the larynx. The lower sphincter is simply the muscle that surrounds the esophagus just as it enters the stomach. Both the upper and lower sphincter are closed except during swallowing, which prevents constant entry of air from the oral cavity or reflux of stomach contents.

How does a giraffe vomit?
Great question! with such a high neck the forces of gravity seem to work against the poor animal! Fortunately the muscles of the esophagus are very strong- The esophagus is a long muscular tube connecting your mouth and your stomach. There are muscles at the top and bottom of the esophagus that control things coming and going, much like control valves-this is called peristalsis. These muscles are called the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. when we eat food-the stomach functions as a reservoir for holding the food-which it does with 2 very large muscles. When a person or animal throws up, the lower-esophageal sphincter opens so that as the stomach squeezes, there is nothing to keep the food in the stomach and so it comes back up the esophagus.
How does alcohol affect the esophasgus?
