thoracic duct
the cisterna chyli drains lymph received from abdominal nodes into the:

the inferior border of the anal columns demarcate the:
pectinate line
what line separates upper anal canal from lower anal canal?

the superior border of the anal columns demarcate the:
involuntary (somatic)
the internal anal sphincter is under what muscular control?
voluntary
the external anal sphincter is under what muscular control?
endoderm
the upper anal canal originates from what embryonic layer?
Internal anal sphincter
Under involuntary control, modified extension of the circular muscles of rectum. Relaxes to allow defecation, constricts to maintain fecal continence
External anal sphincter
Under voluntary control, relaxation allows defecation, constricts to maintain fecal continence
ectoderm
