Lower esophageal sphincter

The Esophagus

Starts off voluntary then becomes involuntary


A.k.a. deglutition

Process of swallowing

Voluntary process of swallowing

Buccal Phase

Process of swallowing

Swallowing reflex is controlled by medulla, involuntary

Pharyngeal phase

Process of swallowing

Involuntary process of swallowing

Esophageal Phase

Process of swallowing

J shaped organ


Functions:


-stores ingested food


-mechanical breakdown


-breakdown of chemical bonds


-Production of (IF)intrinsic factor needed for B 12 absorption


Alcohol is absorbed directly but food is not. It’s can also damage epithelial cells and increase turnover.

Stomach

Produces IF and HCl


PH of 1.5 2.0 Very acidic on a scale of 0-14


Kills bacterial invaders denatures proteins breaks down plant cell walls and activates pepsin

PArietal Cells
