The esophagus passes through a space created by the ___________ of the diaphragm
right crus
The external muscular coat of the esophagus is made up entirely of ________ muscles in the upper third, of __________________ muscles in the middle third (A and B), and of ___________ muscle in the lower third
skeletal
skeletal and smooth
purely smooth
intrinsic innervation of the esophagus? Goes to?
- myenteric or Auerbach plexus
- submucosal or Meissner plexus
This system is a continuum that
extends from the esophagus to the anus?
extrinsic innervation of the esophagus?
Sympathetic
-Act on myenteric plexus to modulate rather than control motor activity
Parasympathetic
- Causes esophageal muscular contraction
- Causes relaxation of LES
Excitatory stimulation of UES occurs due to:
Inspiration Gagging Acidity of gastric contents Valsalva maneuver Esophageal distention
UES tone is reduced by:
- Distention
- Belching
- Vomiting
Chronic alcoholism can lead to:
Degeneration of the Auerbach plexus
LES hypotonia
Impaired esophageal peristalsis
Mallory Weis Tear
Failure of the Lower esophageal sphincter tone to relax during swallowing accompanied with a lack of peristalsis
Achalasia
Can get Barret Esophagus from?
- Chronic exposure to acidic gastric contents – GERD
- Chronic alcohol abuse
- Smoking
Types of hiatal hernia?
- Sliding / Type I
- Paraesophageal / Type II
- Mixed / Type III
- Type IV
