@anatomystyle: Understanding Acid Reflux & GERD 🧪🔥 ​This animation illustrates what happens inside the body during Acid Reflux. When the lower esophageal sphincter (the valve between your esophagus and stomach) doesn't close properly, stomach acid and undigested food can flow back up. ​This backflow causes that uncomfortable burning sensation known as heartburn. Persistent reflux may lead to GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), which can affect your daily life and long-term digestive health. ​Key highlights in the video: ​The role of the Esophagus and Stomach. ​The function of the Esophageal Valve. ​How stomach acid irritates the lining of the food pipe.​#AcidReflux #GERD #DigestiveHealth #Heartburn #
