The absorption apparatus consists of the pharynx, the upper oesophageal (Cricopharyngeal) sphincter, the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter (LES, lower esophageal sphincter). The upper third of the esophagus and the adjacent structures consist of skeletal muscles, the distal esophagus and the LES other hand smooth muscle. These components act as an integrated system that transports the material from the mouth to the stomach and the reflux prevented in the esophagus. A mechanical transfer or disturbance of motor function (oesophageal motility disorders) may disturb the system.
(Esophageal cancer and esophageal atresia.) The absorption apparatus consists of the pharynx, the upper oesophageal (Cricopharyngeal) sphincter, the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter (LES, lower esophageal sphincter). The upper third of the esophagus and the adjacent structures consist of skeletal muscles, the distal esophagus and the LES other hand smooth muscle. These components act as an integrated system that transports the material from the mouth to the stomach and the reflux prevented in the esophagus. A mechanical transfer or disturbance of motor function (oesophageal motility disorders) may disturb the system. The patient’s history makes the diagnosis in about 80% of the cases suggest. The only physical findings are caused by metastatic cervical and supraclavicular Lympknotenvergrößerungen, protrusions on the neck, caused caused by large pharyngeal diverticulum or goiter, candida infection white plaques in the posterior oropharynx and prolonged swallowing times (the time from swallowing too to the sound of a fluid bolus and air reaching the stomach – usually ? 12 seconds – that are heard on auscultation with a stethoscope to the epigastric). An observation of the patient swallowing helps in diagnosis aspiration or nasal regurgitation. Most Esophageal require specific tests for diagnosis. Among the esophagus and dysphagia include the following: achalasia cricopharyngeal incoordination Dysphagia Dysphagia lusoria Eosinophilic esophagitis Oesophageal Diverticulum Esophageal motility disorders oesophageal rupture Ösophagusmembran Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) hiatal hernia infections of the esophagus lower esophageal ring Mallory-Weiss syndrome obstructive disorders of the esophagus symptomatic diffuse esophageal
