Z line.: Z - line (also called squamocolumnar junction) is the very obvious line visible on endoscopy where cells transition from normal esophageal cells to stomach cells. In your case it was 42 cm from incisors to z line. It is important to know what distance separates the z line and the gastroesphageal sphincter as this is related to your risk for cancer.
