Medical Histology Art – MT 30 Lab C (2022) 3 years, 8 months ago Hi there! Did you know that the digestive system is composed of the digestive tract and other body organs that help your body break down and absorb food?
It is a long, and flexible tube that begins at the mouth and goes through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.Check out my histology art on the different body tissues of the digestive system that I made using Adobe Illustrator! For this histology art, I chose the microscopic photos of the ileum, duodenum, and the large intestine! Also, don’t forget to view the comment section of my post for a comprehensive yet short description of the three.

Ileum. The ileum is the last part of the small intestine. It connects the cecum of the large intestine. Its main function is to digest further food coming from your stomach and other parts of your small intestine.
Duodenum. The duodenum on the other hand is the first part of your small intestine. It is situated between the stomach and the middle part of the small intestine otherwise known as the jejunum. It is in the duodenum where food is mixed with bile from the gallbladder and digestive juices from the pancreas after it reaches the stomach.
Large Intestine. The large intestine consists of your colon, rectum and anus. It is in the large intestine where water is reabsorbed. Furthermore, this organ is also responsible for turning food waste into stool.
