t. serosa

In anatomy, serous membrane (or serosa) is a smooth membrane consisting of a thin layer of cells, which secrete serous fluid, and a thin connective tissue layer.

Serosa Function:

-Anchor
-Reduce friction

Locations:

The pericardial cavity (surrounding the heart), pleural cavity (surrounding the lungs) and peritoneal cavity (surrounding most organs of the abdomen) are the three serous cavities within the human body.

Gastric Rugae
Irregular folds of the t. mucosa of the stomach.

A series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of an organ.

Function:

Permit for distension of the stomach so that large amounts of food may be consumed.

Small Intestines
Duodenum and Illeum

In mammals:
Duodenum, jejunum, illium

What is the Cecum?

A pouch, connecting the ileum with the ascending colon of the large intestine.

It is separated from the ileum by the Ileocecal valve
A pouch, connecting the ileum with the ascending colon of the large intestine.

It is separated from the ileum by the Ileocecal valve
In all vertebrates there wil be modifications such as the sm. intestines to increase surface area...
Plicae - permanent circular folds of the t. mucosa and
t. submucosa

Villi are projections of the t. mucosa

Function:

To increase surface area to facilitate absorption

Microvilli are projections of the plasma membrane of absorptive cells of the t. mucosa
Function:

To increase surface area to facilitate absorption
Liver
Produces Biles

Biles emulsifies fat so that smaller fat molecules may be broken down by fat splitting enzymes more easily

gallbladder

Left and Right Hepatic Ducts joins the cystic duct to form the Common Bile Duct which takes bile to the duodenum.
