About this document
Anatomy and Physiology of Gastroenteritis by Anne Lorraine Rodriguez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The digestive system consists of the alimentary canal and accessory organs. The alimentary canal transports food through the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines where nutrients are absorbed. The stomach aids digestion through secretion of acids and enzymes that break down food into a liquid called chyme. Viral gastroenteritis disrupts the normal functions of the digestive tract.
