Tissue layers of the esophagus
the innermost layer is the mucosa which secretes mucus into the interior the
gastrointestinal tract, the second layer is the submucosa which contains blood and
lymph vessels, lymph nodes, nerves, and mucous glands, the third layer is the
muscularis externa which is made of two layers of muscle: the outer longitudinal fibers
and inner circumferential fibers and the outermost layer is the serosa which is made up

stomach via the pyloric sphincter into the small intestine
lesser curvature
concave, extends inward on the shorter side of the stomach
greater curvature
convex, extends outward on the shorter side of the stomach
lesser omentum
serous membrane that attaches lesser curvature to the liver
greater omentum
serous membrane which attaches greater curvature to the posterior wall of the body
two functions of the stomach
1. Temporary storage area for food, storing up to two liters of partially digested food.
2. The muscular walls of the stomach contract vigorously and mix food with juices that
are secreted when food enters the stomach, allowing food to be broken down into
smaller pieces.
The pH of stomach is 1.3 - 3.5. What is this due to and what is its source and
function?
