Guest guest Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 As far as I know everybody has rings all the way down their esophagus. That's the means by which things we swallow are delivered into our stomachs. They are rings of muscle around the esophagus, and the act of swallowing starts them contracting in sequence. The topmost ring contracts and forces what we swallowed down to the ring below it, and that one contracts and forces it down another notch, and so forth, until whatever we swallowed arrives in the stomach.
