The story of the stomach with a hole :-

How the working of the stomach was discovered makes an interesting story. On 6 June 1822, a man called Alxis St Martin was accidentally shot in the stomach. He was treated by an American doctor, William Beaumont. Martin survived but with a hole in his stomach that never completely healed. Dr Beaumont recognized this as a unique opportunity to observe digestive processes. He began to perform experiments on digestion using Martin's stomach.

The experiments were mainly conducted by inserting a piece of food tied to a string trough the hole into Martin's stomach. Every few hours, Dr Beaumont would remove the food and observe how well it had been digested. He observed that the food was being churned in the stomach. Dr Beaumont also extracted a sample of gastric juices from Martin's stomach for analysis. He used it to 'digest' bits of food in cups. This led to the important discovery that the stomach juices digest the food into nutrients the body can use; in other word, digestion was primarily a chemical process and not a mechanical one.
