Esophageal Opening

The esophageal orifices are openings in the thoracic spine that connect the esophagus to the peritoneum. They are usually located on the posterior wall of the middle part of the esophagus, just above the intersection of the gastroesophageal branches and the left and right common carotid arteries running along this wall. The average diameter of the esophageal opening is approximately



The esophageal hiatus (esophagus) is a through or non-through (with partitions and jumpers) opening in the diaphragm that allows the newborn’s esophagus to pass through it.

The esophageal hiatus in a baby is surrounded by dense connective tissue fibers that keep the fetus from lowering the head along with the umbilical cord in the opposite direction as the fetus passes through the birth canal. This connective tissue is rebuilt as the fetus matures and the relationship between the baby's umbilical cord membranes and the placenta gradually changes. After childbirth, the umbilical cord becomes dense and forms a nipple pouch with the vessels of the neck. The outer part of the umbilical cord is divided into two parts, and the resulting trunks form anatomical “umbilical” trunks. They are equipped with a pair of arteries



The esophageal opening (esophageal opening, esophagus) is the distance between the common hepatic pancreas and the aorta of the aorta, which forms a passage for leaked bile and elements of the bile ducts of the prostate astists of the peritoneum. These factors limit the movement of the hepatic hepatic space and trachea, allowing the underlying vascular and respiratory systems to be well used.

Although some authors described the opening of the esophagus independently, as a separate anatomical object. Typically, the anatomical aspects of the esophagus are defined in relation to other details of the tract. In order for anatomical and pathological trauma to the esophagus to be taken into account, the clinical concept of the esophageal hiatus is of great importance. This is a special lumen that runs from the trachea to the left thoracic organ on the left. This approach should be preferred in cases of non-organ disorders and tumors that tend to spread locally along the esophagus. Thus, two anatomical objects should be distinguished: the esophageal opening itself and the respiratory tract - the tracheoesophageal tunnel. With some tumors of the first type or diseases of the wall of the hole, there may be cases where the manifestations of diseases are an expression of the mesenchymal environment of the hole, especially during the movement of tissues up the tract.



From Latin the name food for the esophagus is translated as “hole”. We are talking about an opening in the upper part of the wall of the esophagus. It is designed to connect the esophagus and trachea, which provides additional protection for the organ.

During eating, food from the esophagus enters the trachea, the so-called cardia. This happens due to gravity and the fact that
