| This is the point at which the tubular esophagus joins the saccular stomach. |
| Elastin synthesis is increased during the canalicular and saccular stage of fetal development and reaches a peak during alveolarization in the neonatal stage. |
| The saccular or cystic form is the most severe type and is characterized by a ballooning of the bronchi with fluid-filled, sac-like dilatations. |
| The tuning of the saccular afferent axons to dorsoventral vibrations is well matched to this spectrum. |
| Most of these are diffuse and fusiform aneurysms, except for fungal and post-traumatic that are usually saccular. |
| The VEMP test is used to evaluate saccular function and the integrity of the inferior vestibular nerve. |
