A dog's digestive tract is about 5 times the length of its body.
Both cats and humans have similar digestive system organs such as a stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. However, cats have a shorter digestive tract compared to humans, which is better suited for processing a diet high in protein. Also, cats rely on specific nutrients like taurine, which humans do not require in their diet.

The phylum Annelida includes worms that have a true coelom and a complete digestive tract. Annelids, such as earthworms and marine bristle worms, exhibit segmentation and are known for their well-developed body cavities and digestive systems.
Common specializations in the digestive tract of higher organisms like humans include the presence of villi and microvilli in the small intestine for increased surface area absorption, the production of digestive enzymes by the pancreas to aid in breaking down food, and the presence of specialized cells in the stomach that secrete acid and enzymes for digestion.

The digestive tract consists of the mouth, the throat, the stomach, the intestines, the rectum, and the anus. The liver and pancreas are attached to the digestive tract by the means of tubes, so they can supply their own digestive fluids and enzymes, however they do not lay within the digestive tract.
Water is primarily absorbed in the small intestine of the digestive tract.
