Study Notes
Gastrointestinal (GI) System
- The GI system consists of two main components: the GI tract (alimentary canal) and the accessory GI organs.
Salivary Glands
- The mouth is connected to three main pairs of salivary glands (submandibular, parotid, and sublingual) via ducts.
Sigmoid Colon and Rectum
- The sigmoid colon descends through the pelvic cavity and becomes the rectum.
- The rectum represents the final few inches of the intestine and ends at the anus.
GI Tract Functions
- The GI tract has two primary functions:
- Digestion: breaking down food into simple chemicals that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
- (No second function mentioned in the text)
Pylorus
- The pylorus is the lower area of the stomach, positioned close to where the stomach and the duodenum meet.
