The small intestine consists of three divisions:

the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum.

The colon is divided into the following portions:

ascending, trans-verse, descending, and sigmoid

The presence of villi and microvilli in-creases the surface area, thus making this organ the main site of digestion and absorption

consists of two lobes separated by the falciform ligament The left lobe and the right lobe make up the remainder.

A large, fanlike serous fold that connects the GI tract to the abdominal wall. Blood vessels and nerves travel through this to reach the GI tract throughout most of its length.

Suspended from the midpoint of the posterior border of the arch

hard, mineralized tissue similar to bone around tooth roots

The intrinsic muscles of the tongue have

both their origin and their insertion in the tongue itself.

Extrinsic tongue muscles are

those that insert into the tongue but have their origin on some other structure, such as the hyoid bone or one of the bones of the skull.

The GI tract is essentially a tube with walls fashioned of four layers of tissues:

a mucous lining, a submucous coat of connective tissue in which are embedded the main blood vessels of the tract, a muscular layer, and a fibroserous layer

Lower Digestive Tract

Small intestine: Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum; Large intestine: Cecum Colon, Ascending colon, Transverse colon, Descending colon, Sigmoid colon; Rectum, Anal canal

Term	Definition
The small intestine consists of three divisions:	the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum.
The colon is divided into the following portions:	ascending, trans-verse, descending, and sigmoid
Small intestine	The presence of villi and microvilli in-creases the surface area, thus making this organ the main site of digestion and absorption
Liver	consists of two lobes separated by the falciform ligament The left lobe and the right lobe make up the remainder.
Mesentery	A large, fanlike serous fold that connects the GI tract to the abdominal wall. Blood vessels and nerves travel through this to reach the GI tract throughout most of its length.
Uvula	Suspended from the midpoint of the posterior border of the arch
Cementum	hard, mineralized tissue similar to bone around tooth roots
The intrinsic muscles of the tongue have	both their origin and their insertion in the tongue itself.
Extrinsic tongue muscles are	those that insert into the tongue but have their origin on some other structure, such as the hyoid bone or one of the bones of the skull.
The GI tract is essentially a tube with walls fashioned of four layers of tissues:	a mucous lining, a submucous coat of connective tissue in which are embedded the main blood vessels of the tract, a muscular layer, and a fibroserous layer
