Alimentary Canal – epithelial mucous membrane, submucosa, muscular layers,(smooth muscle
longitudinal and circular), serosa – visceral peritoneum, superficial covering (doesn’t cover the
esophagus)
Mouth – tongue, teeth, salivary glands, palate, tonsils
Pharynx - throat
Esophagus – canal between mouth and stomach, peristalsis
Stomach – digests food, 3 muscular layers, lined with epithelium
Duodenum – first 9 inches of small intestine, bile and pancreatic bicarbonate enter to emulsify fat
and reduce acidity
Liver – accessory organ of digestion – turns crude food into molecular food ready for absorption
by somatic cells
Pancreas – accessory organ of digestion and endocrine organ to regulate glucose in blood
Jejunum – second 13 inches of small intestine
Ileum – the entire small intestine, lined with specialized epithelium for absorption of food
molecules
Large Intestine – last 4 feet of intestine for water reabsorption and breakdown of carbohydrates
by bacteria
Anal Canal – for excretion of waste
