    Study Notes

    Digestive System

    • The digestive system is lined with simple columnar epithelial tissue.

    Oral Cavity

    • Complete digestion occurs in the small intestine, but the process begins in the oral cavity.
    • The uvula is located in the oral cavity and its function is to help in the formation of sounds during speech.
    • The lingual tonsils are located on the back of the tongue in the oral cavity.
    • The tonsils in the oral cavity function as part of the immune system, helping to filter out pathogens.
    • The soft palate in the oral cavity separates the nasal cavity from the oral cavity and helps in the formation of sounds during speech.
    • The lingual frenulum is located in the oral cavity and its function is to connect the tongue to the floor of the mouth, limiting the tongue's movement.
    • The palatine tonsils are located on both sides of the back of the throat in the oral cavity.
    • The lateral walls of the oral cavity are formed by the cheeks.
    • The oral cavity contains the teeth.

    Lower GI Tract

    • The main function of the lower GI tract is to absorb water and electrolytes.
