Muscles of the Oesophagus
- M.Esophagus Longitudinalis Dorsalis (ru+eq)
- M. Esophageus lateralis
- M. Esophageus ventralis
- M. Bronchoesophageus
- M. Plauroesophageus
Constrictors of the Esophagus
- Istmus Oesophagei
- Istmus Thoracalis
- Diaphragmatic Istmus
Constrictors of the Esophagus
1. Istmus Oesophagei
Above Larynx
Constrictors of the Esophagus
2. Istmus Thoracalis
At the level of C2
- Passes dorsally to trachea
- Esophagus moves from LEFT side of TRACHEA to ABOVE the TRACHEA
Constrictors of the Esophagus
3. Diaphragmatic Istmus
= The ESOPHAGEAL HIATUS
- Where it passes through the diaphragma in the posterior MEDIASTINUM
