	The Gastrointestinal System
		The large, hollow organs of the digestive system contain muscle that enables their walls to move.
		The major hormones that control the functions of the digestive system are produced and released by cells in the mucosa of the stomach and small intestine.
		These hormones are released into the blood of the digestive tract, travel back to the heart and through the arteries, and return to the digestive system, where they stimulate digestive juices and cause organ movement.

		The digestive or gastrointestinal tract (GIT) extends from the mouth to the anus and is responsible for receiving food, breaking it down into nutrients (digestion), absorbing these nutrients into the bloodstream and, finally, eliminating all the undigestable parts of the food from the body.

	Gastrointestinal tract Summary
		However, because nutrient dispersal, by the digestive system itself to all cells of the body, was no longer feasible with such a specialized digestive system (and animals became larger and bulkier) a separate cardiovascular system evolved to serve that function.
		The digestive system is that system which exists within all organisms to allow nutritive particles to be taken in, broken down, and either used by the body or removed from the body as waste.
		The gastrointestinal tract or digestive tract, also referred to as the GI tract or the alimentary canal or the gut, is the system of organs within multicellular animals which takes in food, digests it to extract energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste.

		It is the longest section of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
		Neuroendocrine cells of the digestive system help regulate the release of digestive juices, help control the speed at which food moves along the gastrointestinal tract, and may help control the growth of other types of digestive system cells.
		Like most cells of the body, gastrointestinal system neuroendocrine cells sometimes undergo certain changes that cause them to grow too much and form tumors.

	Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumor (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gastrointestinal carcinoid tumors are cancers in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in certain hormone-making cells of the digestive, or gastrointestinal, system.
		The digestive system absorbs vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water from the food that is eaten and stores waste until the body eliminates it.
		The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on whether the cancer is just in the gastrointestinal system or has spread to other places, and on the patient's general state of health.

	Digestive System
		The smooth muscle in the walls of the tube-shaped digestive organs rhythmically and efficiently moves the food through the system, where it is broken down into tiny absorbable atoms and molecules.
		The digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal (also called the digestive tract) and the other abdominal organs that play a part in digestion, such as the liver and pancreas.
		Celiac disease is a disorder in which the digestive system is damaged by the response of the immune system to a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley and a wide range of foods, from breakfast cereal to pizza crust.

		This chapter aims to introduce the gastrointestinal physiology of domestic animals by means of a broad overview of structure and function ("What do they do and how do they differ?"), in order to provide a grounding for the more detailed descriptions that follow in later chapters.
		Furthermore, the systems needed in the early life of a particular species for the digestion of milk will be very different from those needed later in life for solid foods.
		In summary, the primary functions of the gastrointestinal system are digestion and absorption; secretion, motor activity, and reabsorption are essential components of the two primary functions.

		The gastrointestinal tract is governed by the autonomic nervous system, the nerve network that serves internal organs and works mostly without our thinking about it.
		The autonomic system has two parts: the sympathetic nervous system, which activates in stressful situations; and the parasympathetic nervous system, the counterpart that promotes quiet activities (such as digesting your dinner).
		When the sympathetic system is in charge, in essence, your gastrointestinal system turns off.

	Anatomy & Physiology of the Gastrointestinal System - Summary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) consists of a hollow muscular tube starting from the oral cavity, where food enters the mouth, continuing through the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and intestines to the rectum and anus, where food is expelled.
		In the case of gastrointestinal disease or disorders, these functions of the gastrointestinal tract are not achieved successfully.
		Gastrointestinal problems are very common and most people will have experienced some of the above symptoms several times throughout their lives.
