Upper esophageal sphincter mechanical states analysis: A novel methodology to describe UES relaxation and opening

Upper esophageal sphincter mechanical states analysis: A novel methodology to describe UES relaxation and opening

The swallowing muscles that influence upper esophageal sphincter (UES) opening are centrally controlled and modulated by sensory information. Activation of neural inputs to these muscles, the intrinsic cricopharyngeus muscle and extrinsic suprahyoid muscles, results in their contraction or relaxatio...
