Human gastrointestinal tract
The human gastrointestinal tract is the stomach and intestine, sometimes including all the structures from the mouth to the anus. In an adult male human, the gastrointestinal tract is 5 metres long in a live subject, or up to 9 metres without the effect of muscle tone, and consists of the upper and lower GI tracts. The tract may also be divided into foregut, midgut, and hindgut, reflecting the embryological origin of each segment of the tract. The GI tract always releases hormones to help regulate the digestive process. These hormones, including gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin, and grehlin, are mediated through either intracrine or autocrine mechanisms, indicating that the cells releasing these hormones are conserved structures throughout evolution.
