Question

when food reach the stomach mashed up food particles mix with​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. Here, peristaltic contractions (mechanical digestion) churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining cells secrete (chemical digestion).

Answer 2

When food reaches the stomach mashed up food particles mix with acid and digestive enzymes.

• The digestion of food starts as soon as we start chewing it in the mouth. We have enzymes secreted for the digestion of carbohydrates.
• On reaching the stomach, the food comes in contact with acid and various enzymes responsible for the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
• For mixing the stomach undergoes contraction.
• This encourages the mixing of each particle with acid and enzyme.
• Further food moves through the intestines and exits the body through the anus.
