Esophagus

• The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the
  throat pharynx with the stomach. The esophagus is
  about 8 inches long, and is lined by moist pink
  tissue called mucosa. The esophagus runs behind
  the windpipe trachea and heart, and in front of
  the spine. Just before entering the stomach, the
  esophagus passes through the diaphragm.

Stomach

• The stomach is a muscular hollow, dilated part
  of the Digestion System which Orgon functions as
  an important of the digestive tract in some
  animals including vertebrates echinoderms insects
  mid-gut and molluscs. It is involved in the
  second phase of digestion following mastication
  chewing.

Small Intestine
The intestines are a long continuous tube running
from the stomach to the anus. Most absorption of
nutrients and water happen in the intestines. The
intestines include the small intestine large
intestine, and rectum. The small intestine small
bowel is about 20 feet long and about an inch in
diameter. Its job is to absorb most of the
nutrients from what we eat and drink. Velvety
tissue lines the small intestine, which is
divided into the duodenum Jejunum and Ileum.

Large Intestine

• The mucosa of the large intestine is punctuated
  with numerous crypts that absorb water and are
  lined with mucus secreting goblet cells. At the
  lower end of the rectum the circular and
  longitudinal muscle layers terminate in the
  internal and external anal sphincters.

7
Liver

• The liver is a large meaty organ that sits on the
  right side of the belly. Weighing about 3 pounds
  the liver is reddish brown in color and feels
  rubbery to the touch. Normally you can't feel the
  liver because it's protected by the rib cage.
• The liver has two large sections, called the
  right and the left lobes. The gallbladder sits
  under the liver along with parts of the pancreas
  and intestines. The liver and these organs work
  together to digest absorb, and process food.

8
Appendix

The appendix sits at the junction of the small
intestine and large intestine. Its a thin tube
about four inches long. Normally the appendix
sits in the lower right abdomen.
