The role of stomach in digestion is very important.
Stomach has a very powerful enzyme called hydrolytic enzyme which helps in breaking down of food and also to kill some bacteria that are present in the food.

Hi there ✋

The stomach is a muscular organ located on the left side of the upper abdomen. The stomach receives food from the esophagus. As food reaches the end of the esophagus, it enters the stomach through a muscular valve called the lower esophageal sphincter.

The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. Ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. The pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine.

Hope it helps..:"))
