B.
An intracellular vesicle containing digestive enzymes.
C.
Cells of the gastric glands that secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor.
D.
A duodenal hormone released when the arriving chyme contains large quantities of carbohydrates; triggers the secretion f insulin and a slowdown in gastric activity.
E.
The vessel that carries blood between the intestinal capillaries and the sinusoids of the liver.
F.
A reduction in the water content of the body that threatens homeostatis.
G.
Endocrine cells scattered among the epithelial cells that line the digestive tract.
H.
The proximal 25cm of the small intestine that contains short villi and submucosal glands.
I.
Centers, nuclei, tracts, ganglia, and nerves involved in the unconscious regulation of visceral functions; includes components of the CNS Central Nervous System and PNS peripheral nervous system.
J.
A dangling, fleshy extension of the soft palate.
K.
Concentric layers of smooth muscle responsible for peristalsis.
L.
A hormone produced by enteroendocrine cells of the stomach, after exposure to mechanical stimuli or stimulation of the vagus nerve, and of the duodenum, after exposure to chyme that contains undigested proteins.

an essential organic nutrient that functions as a coenzyme in vital enzymatic reactions.
N.
A gastric enzyme that breaks down milk proteins.
O.
An exchange vessel that is similar in general structure to fenestrated capillary. The 2 differ in size(ssoids are larger & more irregular in cross-section) continuity (ssoids have gaps between endothelial cells) & support (ssoids have thin basal laminae)

Mucus-secreting salivary glands inferior to the tongue.
S.
Single-celled microorganisms; some pathogenic, that are common in the environment and in and on the body.
T.
An organ of the digestive system that has varied and vital functions, including the production of plasma proteins, the excretion of bile, the storage of energy reserves, the detoxification of poisons, and the interconversion of nurtrients.

Brought closer to threshold, as in the depolarization of a nerve cell membrane toward threshold; making the cell more sensitive to depolarizing stimuli.
