Question
Answer
Organs of the Gastrointestinal Tract   Oral Cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small/large intestine rectum, anal canal, gallbladder, pancreas, liver

Oral Cavity – Epithelium   Oral Mucosa is nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium which is always wet.  
🗑
Oral Cavity – Connective Tissue   Thin superficial layer of loose connective tissue(Lamina propria) with papillae that meet epithelial pegs and submucosal collagen bundles. May be over muscle or bone  
🗑

🗑
