Abstract

[The gastrointestinal tract can be regarded as a hollow tube divided into several compartments. Each compartment has its own structure, related to its function. We distinguish the esophagus, stomach, small bowel, and large bowel or colon. Glands produce juices that play an important role in digestion, the salivary glands produce saliva, the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid and pepsin, the liver produces bile, and the pancreas produces amylase, lipase, and tryptase. The various compartments differ in diameter and are delimited by sphincters that open and close at the correct moments.]
