• Ingestion
• Mechanical processing
• Digestion
• Secretion
• Absorption
• Excretion
Functions of the digestive system

• Mesenteries
• Sheets of serous membranes that support portions of the digestive tract
• Greater omentum lies anterior to abdominal viscera
• Provides padding, protection, insulation, and energy reserves
• Lesser omentum
The digestive system organs and the peritoneum

• Mucosa lines digestive tract (mucous epithelium)
• Moistened by glandular secretions
• Lamina propria and epithelium form mucosa
• Submucosa
• Layer of dense irregular connective tissue
Histological organization of the digestive tract

• Muscularis externa
• Smooth muscle arranged in circular and longitudinal layers
• adventitia
• Serosa
• Serous membrane covering most of the muscularis externa

• Visceral smooth muscle shows rhythmic cycles of activity
• Pacemaker cells
• Peristalsis
• Waves that move a bolus
• Segmentation
• Churn and fragment a bolus
Movement of digestive materials

• Movement of materials along the digestive tract is controlled by:
• Neural mechanisms
• Parasympathetic and local reflexes
• Hormonal mechanisms
• Enhance or inhibit smooth muscle contraction
• Local mechanisms
• Coordinate response to changes in pH or chemical stimuli
