peristalsis
forward propulsion of food “milking a cow”
where does absorption occur
small intestine
Enteric Nervous System (ENS)
nervous network regulating digestive motility, secretions, & blood flow
parasympathetic ENS
- enhances gland secretion
- enhances motility
sympathetic ENS
- inhibits gland secretions
- inhibits smooth muscle contraction
- causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels to the digestive tract
triglycerides
fatty acids + glycerol
proteins
amino acids
lamina propria
very vascular
lymphatic follicles
glands
mesentery
double layer of peritoneum
