What is "gut"?
The gut, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a long tube that starts from the mouth and extends all the way to the anus. It consists of several organs, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine (colon). The gut is responsible for the digestion and absorption of food, as well as the elimination of waste products. It is lined with specialized cells that aid in the breakdown of food through the release of enzymes and the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. The gut also houses a complex community of microorganisms known as the gut microbiota, which play a crucial role in maintaining overall health and immune function.
