INTESTINE longest coiled tube in the alimentary tract it has two parts (small and large) small intestine is in the anterior part it is the principal organ for digestion and absorption the posterior part is the large intestine
its lumen is at the center and it has a finger like fold VILLI (sing. Villus)which hasten absorption
TUNICA SEROSA or VISCERAL PERITONIUM- outermost covering
TUNICA MUSCULARIS – forms the major part of the intestine, cells of which are perpendicular to each other.
TELA SUBMUCOSA- muscular layer that extends from the wall to the villus
TELA MUCOSA – innermost layer and from the wall of the villus.
-made up of simple columnar epithelial cells and goblet cells
GOBLET CELLS- unicellular cells that secretes intestinal juice during digestion
COLUMNAR EPITHELIAL CELLS – functions primarily for absorption and digestion of food.
STOMACH – it is the expanded portion of the alimentary tract. -it has a wavy fold called RUGAE (sing. Ruga)
It has 3 regions a) cardiac b) body or fundic region c) pyloric region
CARDIAC- near the heart
BODY – anatomical body
PYLORIC –distal end part of the stomach
TUNICA MUCOSA- innermost layer of the stomach
LAMINA PROPIA- outer layer of connective tissue
OVOID CELLS – have round nuclei that secretes mucin that protect and lubricate the rugae.
PARIETAL CELLS – secretes HCl.
BODY OF FUNDUS – made up of chief or zymogenic cells that secretes enzymes pepsin, renin and lipase that hasten digestion.
MUSCULARIS MUCOSA – forms the deepest layer of the mucosa.
TELA SUBMUCOSA – layer of CT consisting of blood vessels,arteriole, capillary and venule.
TUNICA MUSCULARIS- thick layer of circular smooth muscle.
TUNICA SEROSA – aka VISCERAL PERITONEUM outermost covering of the stomach.
CRYPT OF LIEBERKUHN- gland found in the epithelial lining of the small intestine and colon
LIVER
It secretes BILE (emulsifier of fats)
