end: cardial orifice @ stomach
what are the three esophagial potential restrictions
- upper esophageal sphincter
- broncho-aortic constriction
- lower esophageal sphincter
cricopharyngeus muscle which demarcates the beginning of the esophagus (potential restriction)
upper esophageal sphincter
area where the esophagus is first crossed by the arch of the aorta and then by the left main bronchus (potential restriction)
broncho-aortic constriction
@T10 located where the esophagus passes through esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm. prevents reflux of gastric contents (potential restricition)
