The GI tract and your liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are part of your digestive system. The GI tract is a collection of hollow organs that connects your mouth to your stomach. Your mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus are the organs that make up your GI tract.
Our digestive system is designed to convert food into the nutrients and energy we need to live. When it’s finished, it neatly compresses our waste products, or stools, for discharge when we go to the bathroom.
