Esophagus 3D Modelling Issue

Hello,
I am trying to build a 3D model of the esophagus (approximated to a cylinder), and I need to define the radius layer-by-layer. I have the data concerning the radius of every cross-section at some instants in time, but I do not know how can I create a dynamic 3D model. I took a look at the function cylinder and patch, but I did not manage to come up with anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you need? To define the points on the surface? To plot it nicely? What is your goal?
I would like to have a nice view of the 3D cylinder built using different radii for the layers composing it.
Try this and let us know what you think. the radius and its position x are invented, replace them with your data.
clc
clearvars
close all
radius = [1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.4 1.4 1.1 0.8];
x = linspace(1,30,10);
n = 600;
xx = zeros(numel(x),n);
yy = zeros(numel(x),n);
for i = 1:numel(x)
[xx(i,:),yy(i,:)] = circle(x(i),0,radius(i),n);
end
surf(repmat(x',1,n),xx,yy)
function [xx,yy] = circle(x,y,r,n)
ang=linspace(0,2*pi,n);
xp=r*cos(ang);
yp=r*sin(ang);
xx = x+xp;
yy = y+yp;
sara, post as an official Answer so you can get credit for it.
Thanks for your answer! This is what I was looking for. Can you please tell me how can I rotate the cylinder to have it displayed vertically?
To interactively rotate the cylinder type "rotate3d on" after your call to surf.
doc rotate3d
Yes, I saw the button there to rotate it, but I would prefer the code to do it from the start, without doing it manually.
I managed to rotate it, thanks for the tip. Still, I need my structure to be symmetric, not shifted with respect to the various radii. What I have now is this:
