Which
of
the
following
is
an
accessory
organ
of
digestion?
-
ANSpancreas
Digestion
refers
to
the
-
ANSmechanical
and
chemical
breakdown
of
food.
Which
of
the
following
is
not
a
function
of
the
digestive
system?

these
descriptions
best
matches
the
term
submucosal
plexus?
-
ANSsensory
neural
network
Waves
of
muscular
contractions
that
propel
the
contents
of
the
digestive
tract
are
called
-
ANSperistalsis.
The
activities
of
the
digestive
system
are
regulated
by
-
ANSAll
of
the
answers
are
correct.
A)
hormones.
B)
parasympathetic
and
sympathetic
neurons.
C)
the
contents
of
the
digestive
tract.
D)
intrinsic
nerve
plexuses.
The
digestive
tract
is
also
referred
to
as
the
-
ANSalimentary
canal
and
the
GI
tract.
The
lamina
propria
and
mucous
epithelium
are
components
of
the

ANSmucosa.
Which
of
these
descriptions
best
matches
the
term
myenteric
plexus?
-
ANScoordinates
activity
of
muscularis
externa
Contraction
of

intestinal
lumen
and
moves
epithelial
pleats
and
folds.
-
ANSmuscularis
mucosa
The

and
carry
nerves,
lymphatics,
and

-
ANSmesenteries
Sensory
nerve
cells,
parasympathetic
ganglia,
and
sympathetic
postganglionic

and
lymphatics
are
found
in
the

tissue
that
directly
supports
the
digestive
epithelium
is
the
-
ANSlamina
propria.
A
stratified
squamous
epithelial
lining

be
found
in
all
of
the

except
in
the

available
for
absorption
is
the
-

supports
all
but

compaction
of
indigestible
materials?
-
ANSlarge
intestine
The
double-layer
sheets
of
serous
membrane
that
support
the
viscera
are
called

ANSmesenteries.
What
provides
access
for
blood
vessels
entering
and
leaving
the

ANSlesser
omentum
Which
layer
of
the
digestive
tract
directly
underlies
the
