Emergence definition

The guts are the specific set of organs that make up the digestive tract, including the stomach, which is a biological structure composed of body and organ, and other internal organs, all of which are themselves composed of tissue that is part of the organism's overall anatomy, thus the guts are a subset of the organism's internal structures that work together to facilitate digestion and nutrient absorption.
