The digestive organ that is located in the upper abdomen, under the ribs. The upper part of the stomach connects to the esophagus, and the lower part leads into the small intestine. When food enters the stomach, muscles in the stomach wall create a rippling motion (peristalsis) that mixes and mashes the food
The stomach is the widest part of the alimentary canal. It is a thick - walled, sac-like muscular organ. It receives food, from the oesophagus, and passes it into the small intestine. The inner lining of the stomach secretes gastric juices, which have mucus, hydrochloride acid and enzymes present in them.
Mucus protects the inner lining of the stomach. Hydrochloric acid kills bacteria. It also provides the acidic medium, needed for digestion of food, by the enzymes in the stomach. The enzymes, in the stomach, break down proteins to simplier substances, like amino acids.
