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 mean myenteric contact force from all porcine models and locations within the bowel is 1.9 ± 1.0 N cm −1. Examining the results based on the small bowel region shows a statistically significant ...

Abstract: The intraluminal pressures and traction forces associated with the migrating motor complex are well understood; however, the contact forces directly exerted by the bowel wall on a solid, or ...

The myenteric plexus is present between the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers of the muscularis externa, whereas the submucosal plexus is located below the muscularis mucosa.
