Character
The Common Vein Copyright 2008
The esophagus is the most muscular part of the alimentary tract. It is a distensible and collapsible musculomembranous tube. It easily distends to accommodate any food or fluid that passes through the epiglottis. The mucosa of the esophagus is smooth and rather pale in color. In the contracted state the mucosa has irregular longitudinal folds. The gastroesophageal junction is characterized by color change and by an irregular dentate or zigzag line, known as the “Z” line or the “ZZ line”.
