How does a human esophagus work?
The esophagus is made up of smooth muscle tissue. To swallow food down to the stomach, the tissue that is above the food in the esophagus contracts while the tissue below it loosens, allowing food to slide down. This is all involuntary.Biology/Chemistry Major
What is lower esophageal ring?
Lower esophageal ring is a condition in which there is a ring of tissue inside the lower part of the esophagus (the tube connecting the throat with the stomach). This tissue causes narrowing and partial blockage of the esophagus.
What kind of epithelial cells form the inner lining of the small intestines?
Columnar epithelium forms the lining of the stomach and intestines
Is the linning of the esophagus simple columnar?
No, Stratified Squamous epithelium tissue lines the esophagus.
What tissue is in the stomach?
Connective tissue
How does the muscularis layer of the esophagus differ from the rest of the digestive tract?
Within the stomach and intestines, there are three layers of muscular tissue. These need to withstand high pressures and force the food material through the digestive system. In the esophagus the muscular layer is much thinner. It is also smoother in the esophagus.
What forms lining of stomach and intestines?
columnar epithelium
What type of tissue is found in the stomach and is used to churn its contents?
Intestines

Why does your stomach have all 4 tissues?
the stomach needs the muscle tissue and the elastic tissue to stretch and digest the food. Connective Tissue: Is the blood in the walls of the stomach. Nervous Tissue: Controls acid production in the stomach. It also helps contract and coordinate stomach muscle. Epithelial Tissue: Protects the stomach against acid. It covers the inside of the stomach. It also has folds to increase surface area. Muscle Tissue: Mixes stomach contents and forces them towards the lower intestines. It is in between the epithelial tissue.
What is it called when food moves though the digestive system by a wave like motion?
Peristalsis. The smooth muscle tissue creates the waves in the esophagus and the intestines. That's why you can eat and drink while upsidedown and digestion continues when you lie down.
What is mucous tissue called?
Mucous tissue is the membranes that line the structures and tracts of the body. Examples of this are in the nose, stomach and intestines, urinary bladder, mouth and eyelids.
What is soficus cancer?
You may have misheard what was said to you and probably mean the esophagus. The esophagus is the "food tube" leading from the throat to the stomach, and like any other tissue in the body, it can be susceptible to cancer.
What tube through which food passes into the stomach?
The esophagus is the tube that brings food and liquids from your mouth to your stomach. “Benign” means it’s not cancerous. Benign esophageal stricture typically occurs when stomach acid and other irritants damage the lining of the esophagus over time. This leads to inflammation ( esophagitis) and scar tissue, which causes the esophagus to narrow.
What is he job of the esophagus?
The esophagus is a very important part of the digestive system, passing chewed food to the stomach, where it will be churned, mixed with bile from the livers and gallbladder, mixed with enzymes from the pancreas, and then mixed with stomach acid. The esophagus is the pipe that leads to the stomach.
