Small intestine- The small bowel is found at the lower abdominal cavity just below the stomach. It is surrounded by the large intestine. It helps further digest the food from the stomach and absorbs nutrients, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and protein into the bloodstream.
-
Mucosa- Found in the innermost lining of the gastrointestinal tract. It surrounds or lines the the lumen of the intestinal tract. It is also responsible in the secretion and absorption.
-
Liver- Located at the right upper quadrant, inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the stomach. The liver have many functions, but for digestion it processes the absorbed nutrients from the small intestine. It also produces bile and digest some vitamins and fats.
-
Esophagus- You can find the esophagus at the mediastinum or at the center of the chest, posterior to the trachea (windpipe) and anterior to the spine. With the use of muscular contractions called peristalsis, food and fluids are transported from the mouth to the stomach through the esophagus.
-
Muscularis- This is the outermost layer of the mucosa. Usually found from the esophagus to the rectum but thickest at the esophagus. This is responsible in the breaking down and propelling of food. Digestive secretions help move food along the GI tract.
