    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.
