Question

The human gastrointestinal tract includes all of the following EXCEPT the
A) small intestine.
B) stomach.
C) large intestine.
D) epiglottis.

Accepted Answer

The epiglottis is not part of the human gastrointestinal tract. It is a flap of tissue that closes off the trachea during swallowing to prevent food or liquid from entering the lungs. The three other options, small intestine, stomach, and large intestine, are all part of the digestive system and make up the gastrointestinal tract.
