Define gastro intestinal system
1 answer
The gastrointestinal (GI) system, also known as the digestive system, is a complex network of organs and tissues that work together to process food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste from the body. It includes organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The GI system is responsible for breaking down food into smaller molecules that the body can absorb and use for energy, as well as eliminating waste through the process of digestion and excretion.
