In Upper GI Endoscopy, the endoscope is passed through the mouth and throt, and reaches up to oesophagus which allows the gastroenterologist to have a clear view of oesophagus, stomach, and upper part of the passedsmall intestine.

In the same way, endoscopes can be pass on to the colon (large intestine) through the rectum to get a view of this part of the Intestine. This procedure is called colonoscopy (it depends on how far the colon is being examined)
