Difference between Gastrointestinal tract and Mucus

Gastrointestinal tract vs. Mucus

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. Mucus is a slippery aqueous secretion produced by, and covering, mucous membranes.
