Gut: Also known as, the gastrointestinal tract, is an organ system within humans and other animals. It takes in food, digests it to extract, and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces. The mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines are part of the gastrointestinal tract.
