Alimentary canal is the gastrointestinal tract through which the food that we eat goes inside, gets digested, absorbed and the undigested waste is egested out. It includes all the organs of the digestive system from the mouth to anus. It includes mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, rectum and anus. Each organ of the digestive system has a specific structure to perform a specific function, e.g. villi present in the intestinal lining increases the surface area for absorption. There are various types of digestive glands present, e.g. salivary glands, pancreas, liver, etc.
