 Tract – the continuous tube from the esophagus
to rectum (alimentary canal)
 Pharynx – begins digestive tract
◦ Receives air from the nasal cavities and food from the
mouth
◦ Epiglottis – prevents food from moving into the trachea
◦ Swallowing
 A reflex action
 Soft palate closes off the nasopharynx
 Trachea moves up causing the epiglottis to cover the glottis
02/05/18 17:39cottingham
02/05/18 17:39cottingham

 Open sores on the interior
wall of the digestive tract.
 Usually in the stomach or
small intestine.
 Usually associated with the
over-production of gastric
juices.
02/05/18 17:39cottingham
 Infection of the appendix
 Sometimes caused by a
small blockage of feces
which causes a bacteria
buildup.
 An infected appendix that
bursts can be fatal

particles of
cholesterol that
block the bile
duct (in the gall
bladder.)

 The Wall of the Digestive Tract
◦ Muscularis-
 Two layers of smooth muscle
 Longitudinal, outer layer runs along length of gut
 Circular, inner layer encircles tube
◦ Serosa and Mucosa
