👉 The term "cananaean" is a Latin word that refers to a narrow or elongated canal, specifically one of the two main canals in the stomach. These canals are located at the junction between the left and right gastroesophageal sphincters (GESSs), which help regulate the flow of food through the stomach. The term "cananaean" is often used to describe the condition where these GESSs are narrowed or blocked, leading to difficulties in swallowing.
