Multiple layers of epithelial cells, providing protection against friction.

Epithelial cells that secrete mucus and fluid onto the surface.

Four tissue layers (mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, serosa) that make up the wall of GI organs.

The hollow interior space of a GI organ.

Nutrients crossing the mucosa in the small intestine for absorption.

Organs that support digestion but are not part of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract).

The continuous tube from mouth to anus, where digestion and absorption occur.

Accessory digestive organ that produces bile for fat digestion.

Accessory digestive organ that produces enzymes for digestion.

Stores and concentrates bile from the liver.

Produce saliva, which helps with initial digestion.

Works with other body systems to process food.

The digestive system interacts with the cardiovascular system.

Beginning of the GI tract, where food is ingested.

Tube connecting the mouth to the stomach.

Digestive organ where food is partially digested and mixed.

Major digestion and absorption organ, separated into three sections.

Removes water from undigested food and forms feces.

Part of the throat that connects the mouth and esophagus.

Final opening of the GI tract, where waste is expelled.

Secretes hormones regulating digestion.

Connective tissue layer beneath the mucosa.

The small intestine, essential for nutrient absorption, comprises the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.

Nerve network in the muscularis layer.

Muscle layer of the GI tract wall.

Organs completely within the abdominal cavity.

Hollow space inside the GI tract.

Organs located behind the peritoneum.

Connective tissue supporting GI mucosa.

The serosa layer of the GI tract wall is the most superficial layer.

Muscle layer encircling the GI tract.

The serosa is the outermost tissue layer of the GI tract wall.

Part of the small intestine where digestion begins.

Muscle layer running lengthwise in GI tract.

Nerve network in submucosa managing glands.

Midsection of the small intestine, crucial for nutrient absorption.

Last part of the small intestine, completing nutrient absorption.

Outermost layer protecting and lubricating GI organs

A flap-like structure that prevents food from entering the trachea during swallowing.

A part of the throat, aiding in swallowing and speech.

A small lymphoid tissue located on the tongue.

Lymphoid tissue in the pharynx, important for immunity.

Another part of the throat, involved in swallowing and speech.

Small bumps on the tongue.

These glands produce saliva, important for initial food digestion.

Mostly water (over 95%), important for moistening food.

An enzyme in saliva that breaks down carbohydrates.

An enzyme in infant saliva that breaks down fats.

Bicarbonate and phosphate ions in saliva neutralize acids to protect teeth.

A salivary gland located in the posterior cheek.

A salivary gland located below the mandible.

A salivary gland located under the tongue.

Enzymes in digestion speed up chemical reactions necessary for breaking down food.

Acidic food and drinks can harm the mouth. Saliva contains substances to counteract the effect.
