Peristalsis in the Esophagus event triggers the opening of the gastroesophageal sphincter.
Explanation:
- In the esophagus, there are two types of peristalsis occurs.The first one is a "primary peristaltic wave" occurs through which bolus enters esophagus during swallowing.
- This "wave pushes the bolus down esophagus", into stomach in a wave lasting about 8–9 seconds.
- The esophageal sphincter in the lower region is separated by both sympathetic and parasymphathetic nerves.
- The pathways of vagal are a major for the relaxation of reflex of LES and this occurs in LES relaxations.
