The esophagus is a highly distensible muscular organ with a tubular form that connects the pharynx to the stomach. It is compressed anteroposteriorly, and in transverse sections has an ovoid shape, except when food is passing along it.Springer JapanPathology of the Esophagus...
Functionally, the crocodilian esophagus is similar to that of mammals, but alligators have peak esophageal peristaltic pressures that are 2-3-fold greater than pressures in the human esophagus. As is found in humans, the incidence of esophageal reflux increased in postprandial animals compared with ...
