🗑
Hayfever   an acute allergic reaction to pollen that is usually seasonal  
🗑

🗑
Cystic Fibrosis   appears usually in early childhood, is inherited as an autosomal recessive monogenic trait, involves functional disorder of the exocrine glands, and is marked especially by faulty digestion difficulty in breathing due to mucus accumulation in airways  
🗑
Peritoneum   the smooth transparent serous membrane that lines the cavity of the abdomen,  
🗑
Gastrointestinal tract   the stomach and intestine as a functional unit  
🗑
Omentum   a fold of peritoneum connecting or supporting abdominal structures (as the stomach and liver)  
🗑

🗑
Illeum   The last 12'of the sm.intest.-connects to lg.@ the ileocecal valve. absorbsion of food to the blood stream % lymph system is it's major function  
🗑
Duodenum   shortest portion-10" of sm. intest. C-shaped curve circles the head of the pancreas-connects to jejunum. ducts from the liver,gallbladder and pancreas enter this area  
🗑
Jejunum   7-8' center of sm. intest. has blood vessels, lymph and nerves in peritoneum/mesentery. These glands provide secreation for digestion-primary function and absorption  
🗑
Mesentery   one or more membranes that consist of a double fold of the peritoneum invest the intestines and their appendages connecting them with the dorsal wall of the abdominal cavity  
🗑

🗑

🗑
Islet of Langerhans   small slightly granular endocrine cells that form among the tubules and alveoli of the pancreas and secrete insulin and glucagon  
🗑
Stomach   J shaped-empty's to the duodenum.Recieves bolus from esophagus & continues the digestive process. Contains rugae & gastic glands secrete hormone gastrin/juices=hydrochloric acid,smzymes,mucus,H2O&creates chyme.
