Esophageal Sphincters

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I wonder if we cosmos should merge in the upper esophageal sphincter and cardia articles into this section. I made some changes to the paragraph on the gastroesophageal junction, as that paragraph had several large issues, and in doing so I realized that both cardia, and the upper esophageal sphincter have their own mediocre pages. I feel that a much better version could be created that combined all three. However, given that the cardia is actually anatomically part of the stomach, I wonder if that should not be treated separately and not included here? The lower esophageal sphincter is slightly superior to the cardia anyway.

Any thoughts?

• Support I totally agree. Not synonymous by any stretch but related enough to warrant finding them together would be beneficial. Puppylover1992 (talk) 23:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose There is certainly room for much merging within anatomical articles, but I don't support this merge because I feel these are two separate structures, one is a muscle and one is part of the digestive system, and it is difficult to reconcile these in a single article. I feel that the article on oesophagus could be expanded to a significant length that the sphincter, if merged, would have to be branched again in the future anyway. --LT910001 (talk) 04:12, 7 January 2014 (UTC) Support easier to have this in one place, and better for readers. --LT910001 (talk) 11:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

I have completed the merge with upper esophageal sphincter and lower had already been merged (not by me). --LT910001 (talk) 08:16, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Gullet

Why does "gullet" redirect here? It needs to be explained. 131.116.254.198 (talk) 13:11, 21 November 2011 (CUT)

Gullet is simply another less formal name for the esophagi... Christopher (talk) 13:26, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Infobox

I think someone needs to fix it... Lagomen (talk) 06:44, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Addition

I added "During swallowing food passes from the mouth through the pharynx into the esophagus and travels via peristalsis to the stomach." because it links the swallowing (deglutition) article, pharynx and three parts naso, oro, laryngopharynx, and perstalsis where they have a nice animation of esophagus.

GAN checklist

Mainly written for myself while I prepare for GAN: --LT910001 (talk) 08:15, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

1.  Done Expand lead
2. Fully cite the 'histology' section
3. Add information on lymphatic supply
4.  Done Find a way to integrate the two images in 'histology' better into the article
5.  Done Expand and cite 'sphincter dysfunction'
6.  Done Trim the image gallery, ensure all images used here are PD.
7. Check that all citations have page numbers.
8. Replace or expand 'BU histology' citations

Clinical significance section

Hiatus hernia is quite commons and deserves a mention. Why not organize the section by symptoms; ie blockage (dysphagia), dyspepsia, bleeding, and so on? Snowman (talk) 12:51, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
