 Gastrointestinal tract - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These hormones, such as secretin, gastrin and cholecystokinin, are released into the blood by the digestive tract and stimulate digestive juices and cause organ movement.
The gastrointestinal tract is also a prominent part of the immune system (Coico et al 2003).
Other factors in the GI tract help with immune function as well, including enzyme in the saliva and bile.

 Indian Pediatrics - Editorial
Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital lesions characterized by intimate attachment to the alimentary tract, presence of well-developed coat of smooth muscle and epithelial lining resembling some part of the alimentary tract(1).
Cecal duplications may also present as a part of long tubular duplications of the colon which may be treated by either excising the lesion along with the normal colon, enlarging the existing communications with the normal bowel, or by excising a portion of the common wall of the cyst and the normal colon.
Although rare, alimentary duplications are an important differential diagnosis to consider in children and especially neonates who present with a palpable abdominal mass.

Examples are the symbiotic relationship between fungi and the root systems of plants, degradation of organics by bacteria in natural waters and the digestion of cellulose by bacteria in the alimentary tracts of animals.
Using dissection probes, the digestive tracts were exposed for removal by separating the head from the abdomen.
The digestive tracts were then incubated for 15 min at 4° C and treated by ultrasonification for 45 sec.

Radiography of the chest and abdomen: Preoperative diagnosis of alimentary tract duplications is often difficult.
CT scanning of the chest and abdomen: CT scanning of the chest or abdomen is useful in establishing a diagnosis of alimentary tract duplication during the preoperative workup and may be used to evaluate for synchronous lesions once a single duplication has been identified.
Preoperative details: Although the diagnosis of alimentary tract duplication often is not made until the patient is in the operating room, preoperative preparation is based on standard surgical principles of adequate hemodynamic status and the use of appropriate preoperative medications as deemed necessary (eg, antibiotics).

 Chapter Three-Alimentary Tract Microflora
The next part of your alimentary tract is your throat which has the opening to your lungs and the opening to your esophagus.
The reason for the beneficial effects of the various microorganisms which inhabit our alimentary tracts is the dynamic interactions which bacteria make among themselves and with the results of the digestion of the food within our stomachs and intestines.
Since radiation damages the DNA of all cells, the most rapidly dividing cells(those of the alimentary tract) are not able to reproduce fast enough to replace the ones which are eroded away or die naturally and sloughs off during the normal course of digestion.

 United States Patent Application: 0030045455
A method of treating H. pylori infection of the gastrointestinal tract comprising orally administering to a patient afflicted with H. pylori infection of the gastrointestinal tract a dose of a lectin capable of binding H. pylori effective to diminish the symptoms caused by the infection.
Other infections and diseases in which the portal of entry or initial attachment is nasal, oral, or in the alimentary tract are also capable of being prevented by administration of lectins according to this invention.
Accordingly, the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.

 ICRP - International Commission on Radiological Protection
When calculating doses to workers and members of the public a gall bladder model may not be very important, but for the calculation of doses due to administration of radiopharmaceuticals to patients it may be very important (in some cases the gall bladder is expected to be the most exposed organ).
I would prefer to have a unique ICRP model for the alimentary tract which can be used for all purposes of radiological protection rather than to have the need of additional models for the use of radiopharmaceuticals.
The first example describes the absorption pathway due to the old gastro-intestinal model (which is also included in the new alimentary tract model and which will be used in many cases if no special knowledge on the absorption processes is available).

 eMedicine - Alimentary Tract Duplications : Article Excerpt by: Marc Michalsky, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Congenital alimentary tract malformations are rare developmental errors that have been assigned several different names, including enterocystomas, enterogenous cysts, supernumerary accessory organs, ileum duplex, giant diverticula, and unusual Meckel diverticulum.
As suggested by Gross, current nomenclature relies on the anatomic location of the duplication in relation to the normal intestinal tract and not on the histologic features of the mucosal lining (which can be variable).
Etiology: Because duplication of the alimentary tract takes many different forms, the application of a single embryologic theory is not likely to be considered valid.

During early embryogenesis, the notochord is open so that the endoderm of the yolk sac and the ectoderm of the notochord are fused and a tube called the neuroenteric canal connects the yolk sac and the amnion.
Some portions of the intestinal tract have a solid stage during development; therefore, duplications of these structures may result from "aberrant luminal recanalization." Finally, intrauterine environmental factors, such as trauma or hypoxia during a vascular accident, may cause duplications at any level of the gastrointestinal tract.
Gastrointestinal duplications can be found along the entire length of the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, the complications that may occur after surgical excision of gastrointestinal duplications depend on the location of the lesions.

The function of the alimentary tract is to digest masticated food, to absorb digestive products, and to excrete the digestive residue and certain waste products excreted by the liver through the bile duct. • The esophagus is a straight tube that carries food from the pharynx to the stomach.
Beneath the mucosa is the submucosa, which gives structural support to the tract because of its abundant collagenous tissue.
The serosal layer is a thin, smooth membrane present on the outer surface of the alimentary tract.
