The angle of His , also known as the esophagogastric angle , is the acute angle created between the cardia at the entrance to the stomach , and the esophagus . It helps to prevent acid reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. It is commonly undeveloped in infants , making acid reflux more common.
Structure [ edit ]
The angle of His is the acute angle between the stomach and the esophagus .[1] [2]
Variation [ edit ]
The angle of His is normally undeveloped in infants , with the esophagus making a vertical junction with the stomach.[3] [3]
Function [ edit ]
The angle of His forms an anatomical sphincter. This prevents the reflux of stomach acid , digestive enzymes , and duodenal bile from entering the esophagus.[4] [5] gastroesophageal reflux disease and inflammation of the esophagus.[5]
History [ edit ]
The angle of His is also known as the esophagogastric angle.[6]
