The gastrointestinal tract enters the body through the mouth, where food is ingested and begins its journey through the digestive system. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus to the stomach, and then it moves into the small intestine, where most digestion and nutrient absorption occurs. The tract continues through the large intestine and eventually exits the body through the anus.
