What eosophagues do?
Oesophagus is the gullet or upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. It helps to propagate bolus of food and drinks to the stomach for digestion
Why if there are major differences in the muscle composition in each region of the oesophagus is movement of a bolus of food down the oesophagus normally uniform?
Despite the major differences in muscle composition along the oesophagus, which includes both striated (skeletal) muscle in the upper part and smooth muscle in the lower part, the coordinated activity of these muscles ensures uniform movement. The swallowing reflex initiates a peristaltic wave that propagates along the oesophagus, allowing for rhythmic contractions that push the bolus down. The transition from striated to smooth muscle is designed to maintain this peristaltic action seamlessly, facilitating the efficient transport of food to the stomach. Additionally, neural mechanisms and intrinsic reflexes help synchronize muscle contractions throughout the oesophagus.
What is the cardioesophageal?
The oesophagus is the first part of the alimentary tract after the oropharynx. The cardio-oesophageal junction is the point where the oesophagus meets the stomach (at it's cardiac end - meaning the part of the stomach closer to the heart), where there is a circumferential thickening of the muscles in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract (tube). This extra thickening in the muscle layer is called the cardio-oesophageal sphincter. When food swallowed reaches this part, the sphincter dilates (expands/opens) to allow food to pass through from the oesophagus to the stomach. Once the food passes, the sphincter contracts (narrows/closes down) to prevent the contents of the stomach from returning back to the oesophagus. Regurgitation of stomach contents and resultant vomiting occurs when the functioning of this sphincter becomes defective.
