The digestive tract is considered to be outside the body in terms of its function. It is a continuous tube that runs from the mouth to the anus, and while it is enclosed within the body, it is technically an external environment because it is open to the outside at both ends. The substances that enter the digestive tract are not part of the body's internal environment until they are absorbed into the bloodstream.
