the
following
organs
is
a
component
of
the
digestive
tract,
except
the
-
ANSbladder
Which
of
the
following
is
an
accessory
organ
of
digestion?
-
ANSpancreas
Digestion
refers
to
the
-
ANSmechanical
and
chemical
breakdown
of
food.
Which
of
the
following
is
not
a
function
of
the
digestive
system?
-
ANSfiltration
Which
of
these
descriptions
best
matches
the
term
submucosal
plexus?
-
ANSsensory
neural
network
Waves
of
muscular
contractions
that
propel
the
contents
of
the
digestive
tract
are
called
-
ANSperistalsis.
The
activities
of
the
digestive
system
are
regulated
by
-
ANSAll
of
the
answers
are
correct.
A)
hormones.
B)
parasympathetic
and
sympathetic
neurons.
C)
the
contents
of
the
digestive
tract.
D)
intrinsic
nerve
plexuses.
The
digestive
tract
is
also
referred
to
as
the
-
ANSalimentary
canal
and
the
GI
tract.
The
lamina
propria
and
mucous
epithelium
are
components
of
the
-
ANSmucosa.
Which
of
these
descriptions
best
matches
the
term
myenteric
plexus?
-
ANScoordinates
activity
of
muscularis
externa
Contraction
of
the
________
alters
the
shape
of
the
intestinal
lumen
and
moves
epithelial
pleats
and
folds.
-
ANSmuscularis
mucosa
The
________
are
double
sheets
of
peritoneal
membrane
that
suspend
the
visceral
organs
and
carry
nerves,
lymphatics,
and
blood
vessels.
-
ANSmesenteries
Sensory
nerve
cells,
parasympathetic
ganglia,
and
sympathetic
postganglionic
fibers
can
be
found
in
the
-
ANSsubmucosal
plexus
Sandwiched
between
the
layer
of
circular
and
longitudinal
muscle
in
the
muscularis
externa
is
the
-
ANSmyenteric
plexus.
Large
blood
vessels
and
lymphatics
are
found
in
the
-
ANSsubmucosa. The
layer
of
loose
connective
tissue
that
directly
supports
the
digestive
epithelium
is
the
-
ANSlamina
propria.
A
stratified
squamous
epithelial
lining
can
be
found
in
all
of
the
following,
except
in
the
-
ANSstomach.
A
feature
of
the
digestive
tract
wall
that
increases
surface
area
available
for
absorption
is
the
-
ANSplicae.
The
________
supports
all
but
25
cm
of
the
small
intestine
and
provides
stability
and
limited
movement.
-
ANSmesentery
proper
What
organ
is
primarily
responsible
for
water
absorption?
-
ANSlarge
intestine
Which
of
the
following
contains
adipose
tissue
and
provides
padding
for
the
anterior
and
lateral
portions
of
the
abdomen?
-
ANSgreater
omentum
Which
layer
of
the
digestive
tract
has
a
dense
irregular
connective
tissue
that
surrounds
the
muscularis
mucosae?
-
ANSsubmucosa
Which
organ
is
responsible
for
dehydration
and
compaction
of
indigestible
materials?
-
ANSlarge
intestine
The
double-layer
sheets
of
serous
membrane
that
support
the
viscera
are
called
-
ANSmesenteries.
What
provides
access
for
blood
vessels
entering
and
leaving
the
liver?
-
ANSlesser
omentum
Which
layer
of
the
digestive
tract
directly
underlies
the
epithelium?
-
ANSlamina
propria
All
of
the
following
contain
mucous
cells
in
the
epithelium,
except
the
-
ANSesophagus.
The
oral
mucosa
has
________
epithelium
-
ANSstratified
squamous
The
greater
omentum
is
-
ANSa
fatty
sheet
that
hangs
like
an
apron
over
the
abdominal
viscera.
A
disease
that
attacks
and
disables
the
myenteric
plexus
would
-
ANSdecrease
intestinal
motility.
