Difference between Gastrointestinal tract and Ulcerative colitis

Gastrointestinal tract vs. Ulcerative colitis

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. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a long-term condition that results in inflammation and ulcers of the colon and rectum.
