Biology

Answer:

Lower esophageal sphincter

Explanation:

The biological valves are the muscular structures composed of the smooth muscles which form thick tubular structure to allow the controlled movement of any material through it. The valves in the digestive system are known as the sphincters.

The sphincters control the unidirectional movement of the eaten food, chyme and the bolus in the digestive tract.

A sphincter is present at the lower portion of the oesophagus (food pipe) which contracts to prevent the backflow of the food from the stomach and since the sphincter is present at the lower side of the oesophagus, therefore, is known as the lower esophagal sphincter.

Thus, Lower esophageal sphincter is correct.

What is the term for the interior posterior surface of the eyeball that includes the retina, optic disc, macula and posterior po
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Fundus.

Explanation:

The fundus or ophthalmoscopy consists of viewing the retina and the optic disc through the pupil and the transparent media of the eyeball (cornea, aqueous humor, crystalline humor, and vitreous humor) including the optic disc, retinal vessels, macular area and fundus as a whole. It is an important component of the clinical evaluation of many diseases and is the only location where the vascular bed can be observed in vivo in a bloodless manner. The direct ophthalmoscope is available to perform it in Primary Care (PC) consultations and in other specialties, this is an optical instrument that directs light directly onto the retina through a mirror that reflects a ray from the light source. This mirror has a central hole that allows the observer to view the illuminated retina. The major retinal vessels are examined and tracked distally as far as possible in each of the four quadrants (superior, inferior, temporal, and nasal). The color, tortuosity, and caliber of the vessels are examined. The posterior pole is between the temporal vascular arches, measures 5-6 mm, and is where most of the lesions in diabetic retinopathy are located, such as microaneurysms, hemorrhages or exudates.
