4 BASIC LAYERS OF GIT
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis layer/Myenteric layer
Serosa
closest to the lumen; where epithelium is located
(simple columnar)
Mucosa
where Meissner’s plexus that mediates enteric
nervous system are found. Works in local reflexes; functions
independently from main nervous system
Submucosa
where Auerbach’s plexus
that mediates enteric nervous system is located Works in local
reflexes; functions independently from main nervous system
Muscularis layer/Myenteric layer
thin layer of loose connective tissue + simple
squamous epithelium (mesothelium
Serosa
Breaks down large food
particles and mixes them with saliva. It aids
swallowing and enhances digestive
efficiency.
Chewing (Mastication)
mmay be digested but can
trigger strong, painful esophageal contractions.
Large food particles
disperse easily, but fail to
form a proper bolus, complicating swallowing
Small, dry particles
Starch
digestion
Parotid
Lubrication &
digestion
Submandibular
Lubrication
Sublingual
Neutralizes gastric acid reflux in
esophagus
Hypotonic & Alkaline
Amylase initiates carbohydrate
digestion
Digestive Enzymes
IgA and lysozyme combat oral
bacteria.
Immune Protection
Coat and lubricate the bolus for safe passage.
Mucins
Transition from voluntary (oral) to
involuntary (pharyngeal &
esophageal) phases.
Swallowing
Pushing food to the posterior
aspect of the mouth o Contraction of intrinsic
muscles of the tongue
Voluntary
continuation of the pharyngeal
peristaltic wave initiated voluntarily when swallowing begins.
Initiated by swallowing itself (via vagal efferents
Primary peristalsis
reflex contraction that occurs
independently of swallowing.
Secondary peristalsis
is controlled by nuclei in
the medulla oblongata,
Swallowing
sensory/afferent input
Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS
motor/efferent output
Nucleus Ambiguus (NA)
Chewing, oral
sensory input
CN V (Trigeminal)
Sensory (pharynx),
motor (pharyngeal
elevation)
CN IX
(Glossopharyngeal)
