Lower Esophageal Sphincter Relaxation. For the transport of ingested contents into the stomach, relaxation of both the LES and the diaphragmatic sphincter is essential. Deglutition and distention of the esophagus are the two major stimuli that induce EGJ relaxation.ontraction of diaphragmatic sphincter provides a powerful sphincter mechanism at the lower end of the esophagus. It contributes to both tonic (sustained) and phasic pressure increases at the level of the LES.
