What You'll Learn
Identify the organs of the alimentary canal and the major accessory digestive organs.
Describe the layers of the gastrointestinal tract and the role of the enteric nervous system.
Follow food through ingestion, swallowing, propulsion, digestion, absorption, and elimination.
Explain the functions of the oral cavity, salivary glands, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
Describe the digestive contributions of the liver, gallbladder, bile, pancreas, enzymes, and bicarbonate.
Trace carbohydrate, protein, and lipid digestion from breakdown through absorption.
Explain how villi, microvilli, blood capillaries, lacteals, and hepatic portal circulation support nutrient transport.
Describe water and electrolyte recovery, gut flora, digestive hormones, and the defecation reflex.

Follow the complete digestive journey—from the first bite to nutrient absorption and elimination—with the Basecamp Compass A&P II Digestive System Trail Guide. This illustrated study companion organizes digestive anatomy and physiology into one connected pathway, helping students understand where digestion occurs, what each organ contributes, and how food is mechanically and chemically transformed into absorbable nutrients.
The guide explores the organization and wall layers of the gastrointestinal tract, neural control of digestion, the mouth and swallowing process, stomach secretions and motility, small-intestinal absorption, and the roles of the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. It also traces carbohydrate, protein, and lipid digestion; explains hepatic portal circulation; and reviews large-intestinal function, gut flora, digestive hormones, and the defecation reflex.
Use the guide to preview a unit, organize lecture material, review major processes, or prepare for an exam. It is designed as a study companion and does not replace the assigned textbook, instructor materials, or laboratory work.
