HIstology of esophagus
smooth muscoa to move food down
histo of stomach
gastic pits for acid production
histo of small intestine
villi that absorb nutrients
openings for pancreatic /hepatic ducts
histo of colon
openins for water absorption
FUnction of esophagus
transport
mechanical and some chemical digestion
Muscular layers of esophagus
longtiudinal and circular layers to produce perstalis
Function of stomach
food resevoir
mechanical digestion
secretions that digest proteins (pepsin)
propel chyme
Muscular Layers of stomach
circular
longitudinal
oblique
Function of rugae in stomach
increase surface area and allow stomach to expand in size
Function of small intestine
mainly chemical digestion acid gets neutrilized w/bicarb bile digests fat carbs get digested w/ pancreatic enzymes some absorption
Duodenum
digests iron
c -shaped
has paillae
