| | Digestive System |
 | | A person normally isn't aware of the movements of the esophagus, stomach, and intestine that take place as food passes through the digestive tract. | | | There are two major types: ulcerative colitis, which usually affects just the rectum and the large intestine, and Crohn's disease, which can affect the whole gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus as well as other parts of the body. | | | The kinds and amounts of food a person eats and how the digestive system processes that food play key roles in maintaining good health. |

| | This acidic condition aids the digestion process and prevents the growth of other microorganisms, some of which may be detrimental to pig performance. | | | Until the pig develops its own immune system, the intestinal tract of the pig is susceptible to disease conditions. | | | Because of the digestive enzyme transition that the pig goes through from birth to eight weeks of age, the changing morphology of the intestinal villi, and the necessity of initially using specialized feed sources during the early phases postweaning, a phase-feeding program is highly recommended during the entire starter period. |

| | Digestive System |
| | As food from a meal arrives in the small intestine, bile flows from the gall bladder along the bile duct into the intestine. | | | All the different varieties of food we eat are broken down by our digestive system and transported to every part of our body by our circulatory system. | | | These are finally squeezed through a ring of muscle, the anus, and out of the body. |

| | Gas in the Digestive Tract |
| | Walking, jogging, calisthenics, and other exercise help to stimulate the passage of gas through the digestive tract. | | | Sometimes doctors prescribe a treatment plan to help move gas through the intestines more readily and which may help relieve gassiness in some cases. | | | This condition usually can be diagnosed by a specialist in digestive diseases (gastroenterologist). |

| | Digestive tract parasites |
| | I mean maybe if your a bodybuilder trying to gain muscle and your eating plenty of calories and everything seems as if you should be gaining weight and you've tried everything, I guess it's not a bad idea for a doctor to check you out for that. | | | A 1/2lb worm in your intestines is feeding on your digested food. | | | Someone with a digestive track parasite would probably be experiencing unusual weight loss and other symptoms and in that case he/she should see a doctor for a diagnosis. |

| | Why do most carniverous organisms have a shorter digestive tract and how does this help them in terms of digestion? | | | In short (no pun intended) the digestive tract of a carnivore enables them to process relatively large meals rather quickly, an advantage to their life style where meals may be infrequent, but very large when they occur. | | | Dear Reisa - Carnivores have shorter digestive systems than herbivores and omnivores because their food (meat) is much more energy-rich per unit weight/volume and does not need so much help from microbes in order to digest it. |
