    • Imiddle: submucosa
    • Omiddle: muscularis externis
    • Outter: serosa
  8. small intestine
    • duodenum
    • jejunum
    • ileum
  9. mouth
    • recieves food and initiates the mechanical breakdown
    • releases carbodrases

  13. visceral peritoneal
    • forms the
    • serosa: thin outter layer of tissue of the digestive organs.
    • holds organs together
  14. mucosa
    • produces digestive enzymes
    • gobblet cells: secrete moucous that protects intestines.
    • secretes hormones
  15. submucosa
    loose connective tissue
  16. muscularis
    double layer of tissue with muscle fibers
  17. serosa
    • visceral peritoneum
    • holds organs together
  18. when fibers thicken
    sphincters are formed. they control the movement of the food

  24. amylase
    breaks down food into discharides
  25. mucous
    binds food together.
  26. areas of the stomach
    cardiac sphinctor, fundus, body, pyloric sphinctor
  27. Glands of the stomach
    in the mucosa, gastric glands produce gastric acids
  28. muscle fibers of stomach
    longways fibers and circular in order to mix and churn food
  29. duodenal papilla
    small raised area for digestive enzymes and bile secretions to empty into.
  30. ileocecol valve
    valve between small and large intestine
  31. All protiens must be broken down into
    amino acides before they can enter the blood
  32. the secretion of some digestive juices is the result of
    hormonal control
  33. peristalsis refers to the muscular wave along the
