Abstract
The muscle arrangement in the esophagus of man, rhesus, rabbit, mouse, rat and sea-dog was researched by optical polarisation and histological methods. The results: It was found that two principal muscle constructions of the esophagus existed:
-
1.
The “winding”; groups of smooth or sceletal musce fibers course from cranial to caudal with just the same distance from the lumen, revolving it clockwise in steep figures with constant gradation.
-
2.
The “screw”; the groups of muscle fibers turn round the lumen, similar to the cochleated figures and approach the lumen with decreasing gradation.
