pylorus

the inner wall of the alimentary canal is the

mucosa

this structure may be considered vestigal

appendix

the duodenum releases this/these hormones to decrease gastric activity

both cck and secretion

this organ does most of the digestion and absorption in your digestive tract

small intestine

the muscle action that mixes chyme and digestive juices is called

segmentation

cck

which of the following is not a responsibility of the large intestine

pepsinogen

parietal cells

hcl , intrinsic factor

mucus cells

endocrine cells

the hormone gastrin

stimulates release of bicarbonate and water from the pancreas and bile from the liver, slows stomach activity

secretin

stimulates digestive enzyme release from the pancreas and bile release from the gall bladder, slows stomach activity
