01
Overview
The gastrointestinal tract is a complex organ system responsible for the ingestion, digestion, absorption, and excretion of food and waste. It is a continuous tube extending from the mouth to the anus, comprising various organs and tissues that work in coordination to process nutrients and eliminate waste. While not a single molecular target, the GI tract's function is essential for overall health, and its disruption can lead to various diseases. Many drugs target specific aspects or components of the GI tract to treat digestive disorders.
