Stomach: Is a muscular

the esophagus and the
duodenum.
Duodenum: Is the initial part of
the small intestine, interposed
between the stomach and the
jejunum, which extends from the
pylorus to the duodenojejunal
flexure.
Small intestine: Formed by the
duodenum, jejunum and
ileum. Its digestive functions
are superior mesenteric
vessels and a large lymphatic
drainage.

Large intestine: it is the


portion of the digestive tube
that continues to the ileum,
which is divided into several
segments; the blind, the
colon, the rectum and the
anal canal.
