A) An ulcer starts by eroding the mucosa of the GI tract wall. What functions of digestion and/or reabsorption might be lost if this layer is no longer functional? What functions will be compromised if the ulcer eats through the submucosa and then the muscularis? Some of the ingested and secreted may not be absorbed correctly and may seep lumen if the mucosa layer is no longer functional. The functions that may be compromised if the ulcer eats through the submucosa and the muscularis would be the

The Small Bowel The small intestine is divided into three structural parts‚ Duodenum‚ Jejunum and Ileum‚ it is the part of the gastrointestinal tract following the stomach and followed by the large bowel. The inner wall‚ or mucosa‚ of the small intestine is lined with project microscopic finger-like pieces of tissue called villi.
