Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal Tract
The GI tract begins with the mouth and continues to the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intestine. It ends at the anus.
From the mouth to the anus, the GI tract is approximately 9 m (30 ft) long.
The small intestine consists of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
The large intestine consists of the cecum, colon (ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid), and rectum.
Accessory organs of the GI tract include the teeth, salivary glands, gallbladder, liver, and pancreas.
