Digestive System
The digestive system, or gastrointestinal (GI) tract, helps the body digest and process food, starting with the mouth and ending at the anus. The digestive system is vulnerable to pathogenic attacks, hence GI diseases are quite common. Such diseases include those caused by infection or intoxication, the former often being caused by contaminated food and water.
