As bolus enters the stomach, it passes through a circular muscle called the _____

Gastroesophageal sphincter

Amino acids are transported via the superior mesenteric vein to the _____ vein to the ____

Hepatic portal, liver

Hormones

Identify the layers of the muscularis externa

Inner oblique layer, middle circular layer, outer longitudinal layer

What is the secretory product of *parietal cells*?
