Which surgery do you think would have the most profound effect on digestion:
Removal of the stomach (gastrectomy)
Removal of the pancreas (pancreatectomy)
Removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy)
Explain your reasoning.
Test your knowledge of Anatomy. Write down the answers to the following questions that can be found inside the box.
1. The walls of this colon are muscular and contract to increase the pressure inside the colon, causing the stool to move into the rectum.
2. The main function is to store feces that will be emptied into the rectum.
3. What is a hollow muscular organ which serves as a reservoir for urine.
4. Located under the clitoral hood. It is formed of erectile corpora cavernosa tissue, which becomes engorged with blood during sexual stimulation.
5. It is a membranous tube that conveys urine from the urinary bladder to the exterior of the body.
Describe the differences in the muscularis externa as you descend the esophagus and give the function of each structure.
