Hey there!

As far as I can tell, there is no such thing as a bolus, tracheal, or salivary sphincter. There are two sphincters that esophageal sphincter refers to, which is the upper and the lower. 

The upper esophageal sphincter prevents food that has been eaten from going into the air passageway and into the lungs. While this doesn't describe what your question wants, the lower esophageal sphincter does. 

The lower esophageal sphincter is located at the very end of the esophagus right before the point at which food goes into the stomach. It prevents stomach acid and food in the stomach from coming back up into the esophagus. This will be your answer. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Mars2501 [29]
The media impacts our values and beliefs about marriage both in a positive and negative way. It is a well-known fact that the media plays a powerful role in impacting our values and beliefs about marriage. It can both confuse and educate us about how we should be treated, and treat, our partners in a marriage. If we look at the rate that celebrity marriages fail, it can encourage us to end a marriage for petty issues that often can be worked through if both partners are committed to making the marriage work. On the other hand, there are often valid reasons for ending a marriage. The best example where the media can alert people to a valid reason for ending a marriage is when the person is in an abusive marriage and does not know it, or does not know how to get out of the relationship.
