Random information on the term “CELLO”:
Esophagitis (or oesophagitis) is an inflammation of the esophagus. The prefix esophag/o refers to the esophagus and the suffix -itis means inflammation. The esophagus is part of the digestive system, specifically the gastrointestinal tract. It is a muscular tube where food passes through from the mouth to the stomach. Esophagitis is a disease that can be painful and can make swallowing difficult. However, esophagitis can be asymptomatic. Infection, irritation, and/or inflammation of the lining of the esophagus can cause esophagitis. The most common cause of esophagitis is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). There additionally are several types of esophagitis, some not correlated with GERD.
The esophagus is a muscular tube made of both voluntary and involuntary muscles. It is responsible for peristalsis of food. It is about 8 inches long and passes through the diaphragm before entering the stomach. The esophagus is made up of four different layers: serosa, muscularis externa, submucosa, and the mucosa. The mucosa, the inner most layer and lining of the esophagus, is composed of stratified squamous epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae. At the end of the esophagus is the lower esophageal sphincter, which prevents stomach acid from moving to the esophagus. Sometimes the sphincter allows acid to backflow into the esophagus if it is not strong enough. Esophagitis occurs when either an infection or irritation to the layers of the esophagus is present. Infection can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or diseases that weaken the immune system. Irritation can be caused by GERD, vomiting, surgery, medications, hernias, and radiation injury. Inflammation can cause the esophagus to narrow, which makes swallowing food difficult and may result in food bolus impaction. Irritation from the backflow of acid can cause the feeling of burning in the chest and can result in the flow of acid into the throat causing acid reflux or regurgitation. If irritation, infection, and/or inflammation to the esophagus continues, it is likely that the symptoms and signs will increase.
