the sequence of digestive tract wall:
mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, serosa
what is the muscularis responsible for?
peristalsis
what layer of the digestive tract is in direct contact with food consumed?
mucosa
what does the enteric plexus do?
controls movement and secretion of digestive tract
in what phase of swallowing does the epiglottis cover the opening to the larynx?
the pharyngeal phase
mastication
increases surface area of food particles

- pepsin -gastrin
- acidic chyme on duodenum

hepatic portal vein
the gallbladder
STORES bile
the liver produces bile
functions of the liver include:
- interconversion of nutrients -bile production
- prod. of many blood proteins -detox. of harmful chemical
- ALL of the above
ALL of the above
- interconversion of nutrients -bile production
