Answer:
The correct option is b. lower esophageal sphincter
Explanation:
The esophagus is the initial part of the digestive tract and its function is the transport of the alimentary bolus from the pharynx to the stomach, through the thorax and avoid the reflux thereof. It begins and ends in two sphincter structures, the upper esophageal sphincter and the lower esophageal sphincter, which separate it from the pharynx and stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter has two functions: relax during swallowing and prevent reflux of the gastric contents into the esophagus in the postdeglutory period. After swallowing, there is a relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, pressure dropping to levels similar to those of the gastric fundus, which allows the bolus to enter the stomach. This relaxation lasts a few seconds and is followed by a strong contraction that prevents backflow of food.
One reasonable plan would be to wear a face mask or surgical
mask. Take note that your surgical mask contains two sides – the white side and the
blue side. Since the main purpose of your mask usage is to prevent yourself
from inhaling too much bad air, the blue side of the mask should be the one
touching your skin. This is because the white side of your mask helps you
prevent from coming in contact with toxins that may come from the smog.
