What is the function of the muscles at the bottom of the esophagus?
The muscles at the bottom of the esophagus, known as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), function to control the passage of food from the esophagus into the stomach. They contract to prevent the backflow of stomach contents, including acid, into the esophagus, thus protecting the esophageal lining from damage. Proper function of the LES is crucial in preventing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
