Difference between Gastrointestinal tract and Saliva

Gastrointestinal tract vs. Saliva

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces. Saliva is a watery substance formed in the mouths of animals, secreted by the salivary glands.

Similarities between Gastrointestinal tract and Saliva

Gastrointestinal tract and Saliva have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Animal, Bicarbonate, Enzyme, Immunoglobulin A, Intrinsic factor, Lipase, Mouth, Mucus, PH, Silk, Sodium, Vitamin B12.
