the order in which material passes through the large intestine

mouth

where does digestion begin

bolus

chewed food and saliva

the food would be stuck in your esophagus

what would happen to food you you swallowed if your esophagus did not perform peristalsis

duodenum

during digetsion, food leaves the stomach and enters the

fats

the liver secretes bile that aids in the digestion of

duodenum

the pancreas produces digestive enzymes that empty into the

peritonitis

the serious complication of a ruptured appendix

esophagus

the tube that connects the mouth and the stomach

pyloric

the sphincter that regulates the movement of chyme from the stomach to the duodenum

mucous membrane lining the GI tract

secretes mucus, secretes digestive enzymes, protects the tissue of the digestive organs

hematemesis

blood in vomit

cardiac sphincter not working properly

stomach contents may enter the esophagus

emesis

vomiting

chyme

semiliquid food entering the small intestine

alimentary canal

the tract consisting of mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines

bile

produced in the liver, stored in the gallbladder, needed for fat digestion, a greenish yellow fluid

oxygen poor, nutrient rich

blood in the hepatic vein

cholecystectomy

surgery to remove the gallbladder

intestinal veins to portal vein to hepatic vein to IVC

opens to release chyme from stomach into the duodenum

pancreas

makes and adds enzymes to chyme in duodenum as well as producing insulin

villi

tiny structures that absorb nutrients throughout the small intestine

liver

organ that receives absorbed nutrients via the portal vein

large intestine

where water is reabsorbed, feces form, and vitamin k and B12 are produced
