Study Notes

Pharynx

The pharynx is the passageway that connects the nasal and oral cavities to the esophagus and larynx.
It has both digestive and respiratory functions.

Pharyngeal Sphincters

The pharynx has two sphincters: the superior and inferior pharyngeal sphincters.
The superior sphincter is also known as the cricopharyngeal sphincter.
The inferior sphincter is also known as the cricopharyngeal sphincter.
These sphincters help regulate the passage of air and food through the pharynx.

Esophagus

The esophagus is a muscular tube that propels food from the pharynx to the stomach.
It has three layers: mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis.
The mucosa is lined with stratified squamous epithelium in the upper part and columnar epithelium in the lower part.
The submucosa contains blood vessels and nerve fibers.
The muscularis has two layers of smooth muscle: circular and longitudinal.

Blood Supply and Venous Drainage

The esophagus receives blood supply from the esophageal arteries, which arise from the aorta.
The venous drainage is through the azygos and hemiazygos veins.

Functions

The pharynx and esophagus work together to transport food from the oral cavity to the stomach.
The muscles of the esophagus help propel food through peristalsis.
The lower esophageal sphincter helps prevent reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.
