Use an atlas or the Internet to find the following 4 structures: cardia, pylorus, duodenojejunal flexure, ileal orifice. They are all transitions between parts of the digestive tract. Which organs do they connect with each other, and in which region can they be found (roughly, use the regions from Figures 1B and 2A). Name the organs in the order from proximal (mouth) to distal (anus). Also locate the position o your own body. An orifice is an opening or a mouth. The term comes from Latin: os = mouth and facere (make): to make a mouth.
