The Gastrointestinal System is a complex network of organs and tissues that are responsible for the digestion and absorption of food and nutrients. It is composed of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. The digestive process begins in the mouth, where food is chewed and mixed with saliva, which contains enzymes that break down carbohydrates. The food then passes through the esophagus to the stomach, where it is further broken down by stomach acid and enzymes. In the small intestine, the food is further broken down and nutrients are absorbed. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes, and the rectum stores waste until it is eliminated through the anus. The Gastrointestinal System market is a rapidly growing field of research and development, with a focus on improving the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Companies in this market are developing new technologies and treatments to improve the quality of life for those suffering from gastrointestinal disorders. Examples of companies in this market include AbbVie, Allergan, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, and Sanofi. Show Less Read more
