Difference between Duodenum and Human digestive system

Duodenum vs. Human digestive system

The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine in most higher vertebrates, including mammals, reptiles, and birds. The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder).

Similarities between Duodenum and Human digestive system

Duodenum and Human digestive system have 41 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abdominal aorta, Adventitia, Amylase, Bicarbonate, Bile, Bile duct, Brunner's glands, Celiac artery, Celiac ganglia, Cholecystokinin, Chyme, Coeliac disease, Common bile duct, Duodenal bulb, Duodenojejunal flexure, Enzyme, Foregut, Gallbladder, Gastrointestinal tract, Giardiasis, Ileum, Intestinal villus, Jejunum, Lipase, Liver, Mesentery, Microvillus, Mucous membrane, Mucus, Muscular layer, ..., Pancreas, Pancreatic duct, Peptic ulcer disease, Peritoneum, Portal venous system, Pylorus, Small intestine, Stomach, Superior mesenteric artery, Suspensory muscle of duodenum, Vagus nerve.

Gastrointestinal tract

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.
