A multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. An organ system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a biological objective. A homeostatic process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady-state within a defined tissue of an organism, including control of cellular proliferation and death and control of metabolic function. A tissue homeostatic process required for the maintenance of epithelial structure. Protection of epithelial surfaces of the gastrointestinal tract from proteolytic and caustic digestive agents. The whole of the physical, chemical, and biochemical processes carried out by multicellular organisms to break down ingested nutrients into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism. A tissue homeostatic process required for the maintenance of the structure of the intestinal epithelium. A physical, chemical, or biochemical process carried out by living organisms to break down ingested nutrients into components that may be easily absorbed and directed into metabolism.
