Gastrin functions to increase the production of HCl in the stomach.

True

Mass movements of the colon propel its contents toward the rectum.

True

Stimulation of the salivary glands is primarily through parasympathetic neurons from the facial (VII) cranial nerve to the submandibular and sublingual glands and from the glossopharyngeal (IX) cranial nerve to the parotid gland.

True

The duodenum is considered part of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

True

The muscularis of the esophagus is different from other parts of the digestive tract because the superior part of the esophagus consists of skeletal muscle. The esophagus contains both an upper and a lower esophageal sphincter that regulates the movement of materials into and out of the esophagus. The esophagus contains numerous mucous glands that produce a thick, lubricating mucus that coats the inner surface of the esophagus.

True

Chewing forms a bolus.

Voluntary phase

Food bolus forced into the oropharynx Food bolus pushed by tongue against the hard palate

Voluntary phase

The process of moving substances through the epithelial cells that line the GI tract into the blood or lymph is called

absorption
