The function of the myenteric plexus in the striated esophagus is not well understood. Esophagus develops from foregut and by week 10 is lined by ciliated epithelial cells.

The MFSs are surgically implanted in a generally anesthetized animal, and force data from 5 min of dwell time are analyzed. The mean myenteric contact force from all porcine models and locations ...
