Contraction of muscle at gastro esophageal junction cardiac sphincter prevents reflux
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These studies show: a) gastrin does not cause sphincter contraction by stimulating cholinergic neurons: and b) gastrin does not exert an inhibitory effect on the sponcter pressure by stimulating H2 receptors. We suggest that gastrin may contract the lower esophageal sphincter by a direct action on the sphincter muscle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary function of the esophagus is to transport food entering the mouth through the throat and into the stomach.
Detailed explanation-3: -Constriction of the upper and lower esophageal sphincters helps to prevent reflux (backflow) of gastric contents and acid into the esophagus, protecting the esophageal mucosa.
