Synonym(s): oesophagus. [G. oisophagos, gullet]oesophagus The gullet. The oesophagus is a muscular tube, about 24 cm long, extending from the throat (pharynx) to the STOMACH. Just above the stomach it passes through the DIAPHRAGM. In swallowing, food is carried down by repetitive controlled contractions of the muscular walls, known as PERISTALSIS. Immediately above the stomach the wall of the oesophagus shows an increased tendency to contract, thus forming a muscle ring known as the cardiac SPHINCTER. This normally closes after swallowing, to prevent regurgitation of the stomach contents.oesophagus the part of the alimentary canal of vertebrates that lies between the PHARYNX and the STOMACH. No digestive juices are produced here, but PERISTALSIS takes place, often moving the bolus upwards from the lowered head to the stomach.e·soph·a·gus, pl. esophagi (ĕ-sof'ă-gŭs, -jī) [TA] Portion of alimentary canal between pharynx and stomach. It is about 25-cm long and consists of three parts: the cervical part, from the cricoid cartilage to the thoracic inlet; the thoracic part, from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm; and the abdominal part, below the diaphragm to the cardiac opening of the stomach. [G. oisophagos, gullet]Patient discussion about oesophagusQ. do we need the esophagus to live? If we were to take our esophagus away would we still live?A. Principally, yes. Feeding can be done through a hole in the stomach (PEG). Life is possible this way, although one may argue about the quality of life in this situation. Q. Cn barret esophagous be cured? I was diagnosed with barretts esophagus several years ago, and so far keeps on the routine follow up. I met some other guy with same condition and he told after his doctor prescribed him with some anti-reflux meds, in the last endoscopy they found normal esophagus, and that he thinks he's now cured. Is that possible?A. Anti-reflux treatment may lower the risk of cancer a little, but it won't cure it, so there's still a need for refular follow-up. More discussions about oesophagusoesophagus
