Question
Chapter 50.4, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The difference in the feeding formula used in a jejunum tube and a gastric tube.
Introduction:
Patients with certain diseases cannot consume food orally and need to be given mixtures of nutrients or feeding formulas directly to some part of the digestive tract. The feeding formula used may be given directly to the stomach through a gastric tube, or directly to the middle part of the small intestine (jejunum) through a jejunum tube.

Starting from the lumen and moving outwards, the first three layers are the mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis. The final layer is either the serosa or the adventitia, depending on the portion of the GI tract you are looking at. The mucosa is referred to as a mucous membrane, because mucus production is a characteristic feature of gut epithelium. The membrane consists of the epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosa (not to be confused with the muscularis externa, described later). Epithelium—This layer is in direct contact with ingested food. In the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, and anal canal, the epithelium is primarily a non-keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium. In the stomach and intestines, it is a simple columnar epithelium. Interspersed among the epithelial cells are mucus-secreting goblet cells.…arrow_forwardFrom the esophagus to the anal canal, the walls of the digestive tract are made of the same four basic layers.
