What separates stomach and esophagus?
The structure that separates the stomach and esophagus is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This muscular ring is located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach and functions to prevent the backflow of gastric contents into the esophagus. When functioning properly, the LES opens to allow food to enter the stomach and closes to protect the esophagus from acidic stomach contents. Dysfunction of the LES can lead to conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
What is the flap that guards the stomach?
The flap that guards the stomach is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). It is a ring of muscle located at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach, preventing the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus. The LES relaxes to allow food to enter the stomach and tightens to keep stomach acids contained, playing a crucial role in preventing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
What is the name of the sphincter located between the esophagus and fundus of the stomach?
The sphincter located between the esophagus and the fundus of the stomach is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). It is a muscular ring that opens to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
What are the names and functions of the stomach sphincters?
The stomach has two primary sphincters: the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and the pyloric sphincter. The LES, located at the junction of the esophagus and stomach, prevents the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus, protecting it from acid reflux. The pyloric sphincter, situated between the stomach and the small intestine, regulates the passage of partially digested food (chyme) from the stomach into the duodenum, ensuring proper digestion and absorption.
Which structure is located between the esophagus and the stomach?
The structure located between the esophagus and the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to enter the stomach and closes to prevent stomach contents from flowing back up into the esophagus.
Name and describe the function of two valves found in the stomach?
To hold the food within the stomach there are two valves. At the top of the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) which prevents backsplash of stomach contents upward into the esophagus. At the bottom of the stomach is the pyloric which controls the "drain" of the stomach.

The muscular door between the esophagus and stomach is called the what?
The muscular door between the esophagus and stomach is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This sphincter helps prevent stomach acid and contents from flowing back up into the esophagus. Dysfunctional LES can lead to conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
What muscle prevents food from returning to the oesophagus from the stomach?
The muscle that prevents food from returning to the esophagus from the stomach is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This circular band of muscle relaxes to allow food to enter the stomach and then contracts to prevent the backflow of stomach contents. Proper functioning of the LES is essential to prevent conditions like acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
