Question

Why would the digestive tract be considered outside of the body?

Answer 1

Hey mate!!

Here is your answer :

The alimentary canal, which is also called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or gut, is the entire length of tube that winds through the body from the mouth to the anus. ... The alimentary canal is considered outside of the body because it is open to the external environment at each end (mouth, anus).
