SEROSA - SEROUS LAYER OF DIGESTIVE TRACT
smooth tissue membrane (of two layers of mesothelium), which secrete serous fluid; partition between internal organs and the abdominal cavity; secrete a serous fluid that provides lubrication to reduce friction; connective tissue layer provides blood vessels and nerves
59
MUSCULARIS -- MUSCULAR LAYER OF DIGESTIVE TRACT
two layers of smooth muscle, an inner circular layer and an outer longitudinal layer. Within these two layers is the second nerve plexus called the myenteric nerve plexus that controls the contraction of these layers. An important action of this layer is its ability to generate peristalsis contractions which propel the food through the tract
60
SUBMUCOSAL LAYER OF DIGESTIVE TRACT
areolar connective tissue that binds the mucosa to the muscularis. It contains many blood and lymphatic vessels that receive absorbed food molecules. The network of neurons in this layer known as the submucosal plexus; ALL BLOOD AND LYMPHATIC VESSELS ARE HERE; PUSHES NUTRIENTS TO BLOODSTREAM;
61
MUCOSAL LAYER OF DIGESTIVE TRACT
innermost layer of the gastrointestinal tract; surrounds lumen of the tract; comes into direct contact with digested food (chyme). The mucosa itself is made up of three layers: Stratified Columnar epithelium - has goblet cells - the innermost layer. It is where most digestive, absorptive and secretory processes occur; also called the gastric mucosa

167
ONCE YOU LEAVE SMALL INTESTINE THE MAJORITY OF THIS HAS BEEN DONE
ABSORPTION
