Explain the cause and symptoms of heartburn.
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the esophagus due to an improper closing of a
sphincter that allows stomach acids to enter into the esophagus.
Sphincters play an important role in the GI tract. Name two sphincters discussed
in the module and using your own words, briefly describe their functions
The esophageal sphincter prevents the contents of the stomach from reentering the
esophagus.

stomach.
The ileocecal sphincter prevents the contents of the large intestine from entering the
small intestine.
