The food canal, also known as the gastrointestinal tract, is a continuous tube that runs from the mouth to the anus, responsible for the digestion and absorption of food. It includes various organs such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The food canal processes food through mechanical and chemical means, breaking it down into nutrients that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in waste elimination from the body.
