Rugae would be observed in: esophagus, stomach, small intestine. Which layer of the GI tract is examined (viewed) during a colonoscopy? muscularis externa, submucosa, mucosa. The terminal (last) part of the small intestine is called the: duodenum, jejunum, ileum, sigmoid colon. The layer of the digestive system that contains blood vessels, lymphatic nodes, and a rich supply of elastic fibers is the mucosa. Which of the following is the first layer of the GI tract that doctors would see if they opened up the abdominal cavity? the lining of epithelium, the muscularis mucosae, the lumen, the serosa, the parietal peritoneum.

Microvilli are found on cells of the inner surface of the small intestine, where they Microvilli are found on cells of the inner surface of the small intestine, where they increase the absorption of nutrients from digested food. protect the intestinal lining from irritants or toxins in the food. push food along the digestive tract. slow the movement of food through the digestive tract. sense the presence of food in the digestive tract.
