Gastrointestinal Tract

Overview

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a long, tubular structure that runs through the body and functions to process food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste. It is made up of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, as well as accessory organs such as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. In addition to digestion, the GI tract aids in the production of hormones and enzymes essential for growth and metabolism. It is essential to maintain a healthy digestive system and its regular functions, as it can greatly contribute to overall wellbeing. Abnormalities that can occur within the GI tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease, or gastric reflux can significantly impact quality of life and cause chronic fatigue, malnutrition and other serious health issues. Proper diagnosis and treatment of GI disorders is critical for maintaining a healthy digestive system and overall health.
