The digestive tract generally consists of the intestine and stomach.

Intestine or stomach?

The digestive tract is a muscular duct extending from the mouth to the anus, which contains tissues such as the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestine, anal canal, etc. The stomach and intestine are important components of the digestive tract. The stomach connects the esophagus and small intestine, and has the function of storing and digesting food. It can help decompose food and convert it into small molecular nutrients by secreting gastric acid and pepsin. The intestine is divided into small intestine and large intestine. Food decomposed in the stomach enters the small intestine through pylorus and is further digested and absorbed in the small intestine. The remaining food residues gradually enter the large intestine, where they absorb water and form feces.
