is a 60-year-old man who was diagnosed with colon polyps after undergoing colonoscopy as part of a routine physical exam and assessment. The procedure revealed the presence of polyps

the alimentary canal, the digestive system that absorbs nutrients and allows elimination of solid wastes. The alimentary canal begins with the mouth, continuing with the esophagus, stomach, small intestine,
