secrete digestive enzymes to alimentary canal accessory glands and organs do
salivary glands -parotid-submandibular-sublingual liver gallbladder pancreas what are the accessory glands and organs
musculomembranous tube that extends from mouth to anus vary in diameter according to fuction greatest part in abdomen 29-30 ft alimentary canal purpose
where food is masticated alimentary canal-mouth
organs of swallowing pharynx commone to both food and air alimentary canal-pharnyx and esophagus
digestive process begins (majority occurs) almentary canal-stomach
digestive process completed (absorbs nutrients) alimentary canal-small intestines
organ of egestion and water obsorption alimentary canal-large intestine
termination of canal, external aperture alimentary canal-anus
long muscular tube that carries food and saliva from laryngopharynx to the stomach 10" length 3/4" diameter in midsaggital plane- c6-t11 esophagus
serous (outer) muscular(peristalsis) submucosal mucosal (inner) esophageal wall 4 layers
enters thorax, through mediastinum, anterior to vertebra, posterior to trachea and heart passes through diaphragm, sharp left, expands in diameter (cardiac antrum) joins stomach-esophagogastric junction where does esophagus go?
dilated, sac-like portion of digestive tract extends between esophagus and small intestine stomach
serous muscular submucosal mucosal stomach wall layers

distal to angular notch, extends to duodenum pyloric portion
opening between stomach and duodenum controlled by pyloric sphinter pyloric antrum/orifice
storage-stores food until it is ready to be broken down further breaks down food functions of stomach
chemically-acids, enzymes, other chemicals mechanically-peristalsis, churning how stomach breaks down food (2 ways)
duodenum after broken down where does food go after done being broken down in stomach?
chyme broken down food called
to relax peristalsis in Gi system relaxes gastric muscles and allows for greater distention of stomach glucagon
