| gastrointestinal tract |
Begins with the mouth, leads to the esophagus and extends through the stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum), and large intestine (colon). During the journey, food is broken down and nutrients absorbed. Finally, within the large intestine, water is resorbed and the remaining fecal matter is expelled. If inflammation is present, motility (movement) is impaired, resulting in constipation and/or diarrhea.
