A
FEW WORDS ABOUT THE STOMACH
The
STOMACH is essentially a hollow bag designed to store food. The food
is then mixed with acid, mucus and pepsin, and then released into the
duodenum, or small intestine, at a controlled, steady rate.
The stomach is approximately 6-8 inches long by 3-4 inches wide, but
can expand to accommodate whatever food you eat.
Hydrochloric acid and a variety of digestive enzymes are secreted in
the stomach. These help break down the food into smaller pieces which
can be more readily digested.
In addition to this, the lower portion of the stomach, called the antrum,
has a grinding function which also helps mechanically break down
the food into smaller pieces.
Another function of the stomach, is to act as a kind of sterilizing
system, where the stomach acids kill germs in foods.
