Q

gastroesophageal reflux, what does it mean?

A

Food is moving up from the esophagus. The esophagus does not have protection from acids and it is being damaged.

Q

Function of Muscularis mucosa in mucosa of esophagus

A

Contraction that allows that all food content is in touch with the epithelial cells of the organ and we guarantee that nutrients are absorbed. We also make sure that the content is mixed up.

Q

Difference between the upper part and the lower part of the esophagus.

A

There is a difference in the Muscularis: in the upper part we find striated skeletal muscle (with striations and sarcomeres, as well as multinucleated cells), in the bottom part smooth muscle (no striations, cells connected through dense bodies, mononucleated).

Q

Possible cause of death?

A

The physiological sphincter of this patient is not working.
If the patient has a large meal, and then they lay down, the food will move upwards and the esophagus will be irritated. The food can move to the trachea and the respiratory airways can be blocked.
Possible cause of death: LACK OF O2.
