Document Summary

Fixed abdominal wall that lines walls abdominopelvic cavity. Muscular tube that moves food along to be peritoneal cavity (continuous with the absorbed and excrete by-products. It"s 4 tissues are mucosa, submucosa, serosa, muscularis externa parietal peritoneum) Lines walls of abdominopelvic cavity intestine, large intestine, anus. Most of these organs produce secretory products (saliva, bile, enzymes) that aid digestion of food. Teeth, tongue, gallbladder, salivary glands, liver, pancreas. All attached to gi tract by ducts except teeth and tongue. Food in the lumen (open space) of the gi tract is said to be outside of the body because both the mouth and anus are open. Lined with slippery, friction-reducing, communication of blood vessels, lymphatic serous membranes (most extensive vessels, and nerves to organs of the gi tract membrane is the peritoneum) Most digestive organs keep a mesentery and remain in peritoneal cavity (peritoneal. Depressed spaces btwn visceral and parietal organs) peritonea that secretes fluid by the serous.
