#redirect [[Gastrointestinal]]
The [[oral cavity]] leads to the [[pharynx]] and the [[oesophagus]], which terminates in the [[stomach]]
 
==Lower Tract==
After this, the [[duodenum]] joins onto the stomach, and then leads to the [[jejunum]] and then the [[ileum]].
 
The [[large intestine]] starts when the ileum joins onto the [[caecum]]. The [[appendix]] also attaches to the caecum, further down. The caecum joins onto the ascending [[colon]], then the transverse, and finally the descending colon.
 
At the end of this, the colon meets the [[rectum]], which joins onto the [[anus]].
