 | | This is largely a local reflex action in response to chemical and mechanical irritation from the chyme and in response to distention of the intestinal wall. | | | The small intestine follows the general structure of the digestive tract in that the wall has a mucosa with simple columnar epithelium, submucosa, smooth muscle with inner circular and outer longitudinal layers, and serosa. | | | The liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are accessory organs of the digestive system that are closely associated with the small intestine. |

| | They can form very large aggregates in particular in the ileum, where they may be covered by a specialised form of epithelium which facilitates their function in the immune-defence of the body against possible pathogens in the lumen of the intestine. | | | The mucosa of the small intestine has various structural features which considerably increase the luminal surface area and consequently support the main function of the small intestine - the absorption of the degraded components of the food. | | | Other epithelial cells in the crypts correspond largely to those in the epithelium of the intestinal villi. |

| | Diverticular disease - is a condition of the large intestine |
| | Diverticular disease (or diverticulosis) is a condition of the large intestine (colon) which means having diverticula, or small sacs or pouches that form in the wall of the large intestine, and includes diverticulitis which is when these pouches or sacs become infected. | | | Diverticular disease - is a condition of the large intestine | | | Constipation increases pressure within the intestine and over many years this forces small areas of the lining of the intestine to weaken to form the small sacs or pouches (diverticula). |

| | The Large Intestine |
| | The rectum, which is a continuation of the sigmoid colon, begins in front of the {spine_scacrum} midsacrum (the sacrum is the triangular bone near the base of the spine and between the two hipbones). | | | When this occurs, toxic waste products can back up into the small intestine causing various syndromes such as {low_back_pain} sudden back pain, {headaches} migraine headaches, {pms} PMS, and {allergies} allergies. | | | These folds, or valves, are caused by an invagination, or infolding, of the circular muscle and submucosa. |

| | Large Intestine |
| | In contrast to the small intestine, the large intestine is only about five feet in length, but, as we have said, its diameter is of much greater width. | | | When the waste matter accumulates in the lower part of the rectum, it stimulates the sensory nerves of the mucous membrane, and by a reflex action the sphincter muscles relax and the contents is expelled through the anus. | | | The ileocecal valve, however, prevents the return of the food to the small intestine under normal condition. |
