The Digestive System
Digestive System Alimentary canal Accessory digestive organs 6 essential activities Regulation (mechanical and chemical stimuli) Extrinsic control Intrinsic control
Histology of the Alimentary Canal The mucus secretions Functions Functions Cells Cells Mucosa 3 functions Consists of three layers: a lining epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae
Lamina Propria Muscularis mucosae Mucosa: Lamina Propria and Muscularis Mucosae Other layers Submucosa Muscularis externa Serosa
Mouth Oral or buccal cavity Epitheliumcharacteristic Salivary Glands 4 functions 3 (pair) Extrinsic salivary glands Intrinsic salivary glands
Digestive Processes in the Mouth Pharynx Food and fluids to the esophagus Food and fluids to the esophagus Cells Cells Esophagus Muscular tube, Muscularis changes enroute
