Tissues
There are four major tissue types involved:
Muscle: the smooth muscle lines the walls of the tract and contract
to pass food through
Connective: found in and around the muscle along the tract, and
Cells:
Mucus cells- produce mucus for protection and support
Parietal cells- produce hydrochloric acid and intrinsic
factor
Chief cells- pepsinogen (inactive form of protein
digestive enzyme)
Enteroendocrine cells- produce gastrin, cause gastric
glands to increase activity
How is it organized?
1. Right after you finish chewing the food, it travels to your stomach through
your esophagus which has a series of muscular contractions called
peristalsis.
3. As the food gets to you small intestine, they are in a semi-solid form and
after the process, they are turned into a liquid like form which consists of
water, bile, enzymes, and mucous.
Blood cells (red and white blood cells) > cells in the
tissues that make up the heart > cells in the blood
vessel > cardiac tissues that make up the heart >
tissues that make up the blood vessels > blood types
> blood > heart > circulatory system
