This narrated animation describes the first half of the digestive system (also known as the gastrointestinal tract). It describes how the muscles in the esophagus are used to swallow the food that we eat and describes how the stomach digests food.
An abdominal incision exposes the stomach and duodenum (small intestine) (A). The duodenum is freed from connecting materials (B), and is clamped and severed. The stomach is also clamped and severed (C). The remaining stomach is then connected to the duodenum with sutures (D and E). (Illustration by GGS Inc.)
