pyloric antrum
cardiac sphincter
lower esophafeal sphincter that relaxes and contracts to move food from the esophagus to the stomach
pyloric sphincter
allows food to leave the stomach when it is ready
rugae
folds in the mucous membrane lining the stomach
pepsin
enzyme that digests proteins
small intestine
extends from the pyloric sphincter to the first part of the large intestine
3 parts of the stomach
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
duodenum
recieves food from stomach and bile from liver and gallbladder and pancreatic juice from the pancreas
jejunum
2nd part of the small intestines
ileum
3rd part of small intestine
connects to the large intestine
villi
millions of tiny, microscopic projections that line the walls of the small intestine
large intestin
extends from the end of the ileum to the anus
