Detailed explanation-1: -The stomach wall produces gastric juice (hydrochloric acid and enzymes) that digests proteins. The stomach acts like a concrete mixer, churning and mixing food with gastric juice to form chyme-a thick, soupy liquid.
Detailed explanation-2: -There is significant chemical digestion in the stomach. Two types of glands exist in the gastric mucosa that aid in chemical digestion: oxyntic glands and pyloric glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with digestive juices that have acids and enzymes. These juices help break up food into much smaller pieces. By the time food is ready to leave the stomach, it has been turned into a thick liquid called chyme (kime).
Detailed explanation-4: -Chewing and the churning motions in your stomach are the main forces involved in this process. Chemical digestion. This is the process where complex molecules like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are broken down into smaller pieces that your body can use. It requires special proteins called enzymes.
