| Illustration comparing a healthy esophagus and Barrett's esophagus. The left side depicts a normal esophagus with a closed lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and a smooth lining. The right side shows Barrett's esophagus with inflammation and a leaky LES, allowing stomach acid to reflux. The esophagus lining is altered, indicated in red. Inset circles magnify the esophageal lining, highlighting the difference between normal and abnormal tissue. Labels identify key features, such as the location of inflammation and acid reflux. |
