Case Summary
- The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the oral cavity to the stomach, approximately 25 cm long, with motility characterized by peristalsis divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary types. The upper third contains skeletal muscle while the lower two-thirds consist of smooth muscle. Primary peristalsis is triggered by swallowing, secondary by the presence of food, and tertiary are non-peristaltic contractions with no physiological role.
