Gastro-intestinal tract necklace | sterling silver
The full digestive tract — nine metres of specialised tube from mouth to anus, each segment adapted to a specific stage of digestion and absorption.
The Anatomy of the GI Tract
The gastrointestinal tract begins at the oesophagus and continues through the stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum — roughly 6–7 metres in total), and large intestine (caecum, ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid colon, rectum, and anal canal). The small intestine is the primary site of nutrient absorption; its surface area is massively amplified by circular folds (plicae circulares), villi, and microvilli (the brush border), collectively increasing absorptive area by roughly 600-fold. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes and houses the gut microbiome — the trillions of bacteria whose metabolic activity influences everything from local immune function to systemic inflammation.
