Materials in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are considered to be outside of your body because they have not been absorbed into the bloodstream or tissues. The GI tract acts as a continuous tube from the mouth to the anus, where food and waste pass through without being integrated into bodily systems until digestion and absorption occur. Until then, the contents are contained within a separate environment, isolated from internal bodily functions. Thus, while they are within the GI tract, they are not yet part of the body's internal environment.

Why is the inside of the female reproductive tract moist?

All openings of the body that led to the outside are moist with mucus. This includes the mouth and the rest of the digestive tract, the respiratory tract (including the nasal passages), the urinary tract and the reproductive tract. This mucus keeps the tracts from drying out. If they would dry out, microbes could get into the body and cause an infection. The mucus also produces easy passage of products into and out of them.

Is bateria found in the mouth?

You body is free of microbes inside. That would be inside the cavity that contains the heart, lungs and the outside of the intestines and outside of the reproductive organs. The layers under your skin are germ free. The muscles, bones, blood vessels, heart, brain, spinal cord and nerves are microbe free.All their connective tissues as well.But every part of your body that has an outside connection is not. That would be the respiratory tract (nose, trachea and lungs). That would include the mouth, inside the stomach, intestines and to the anus. That entire tract is really outside of your body. The same is true for the reproductive organs.The opening and the areas that lead to them can have many types of microbes.
