Paper Summary:

This paper answers a number of questions relating to the human digestive system. The topics covered include the structure of the digestive system, its function and its physiology.

From the Paper:

"The mucosa is the innermost lining of the digestive tract. In some regions the surface is folded to increase surface area. The mucosa contains different types of cells that secrete mucus digestive enzymes and hormones. Ducts from other glands penetrate the mucosa to open into the lumen. In the stomach and intestines the epithelium is simple columnar for secretion and absorption, but in the mouth and anus, where protection against abrasion, is required the epithelium is stratified squamous.
