Answer:
as my dear friend so wisely mentioned this question should have 8 points so to get 2 points i answer only the last part, the final product is called S.H.I.T
this question should be worth 8 points...
The stomach is a depository in our body that collects delicious foods after they have been chewed and swallowed. Bile in the stomach erodes the food. Nutrients, and some toxins like alcohol, go through the lining of the stomach and enter our blood stream. Whatever is left goes into our colon and appears in the toilet as a piece of poo.
the stomach is an orga in digestion, (duh.) it kind of sifts through the food you eat, and sends all the nutrients to your blood, and all the fat and stuff you don't need to the large intestine. it doesn't produce anything.
hmm...well the stomach is the part of your digestive system that recieves the food from your esophagus. It produces secretions like hydrocholric acid for one, that aids in the break down of foods, but not only does it aid in the chemical digestion of food, but also in mechanical breakdown by the churning motion the muscles create. However, most of the absorption of the nutrients from your food happens in the intestines, not the stomach.
are you freakin kidding me?
The stomach acts like a blender and crushes the balls of food using its strong muscles. The stomach produces gastric acids which are very very strong acids have 2 functions
helping break down the food and killing all the bacteria in the food. once the food is crusahed it them moves on to your small intestine
The stomach is where food goes after you chew and swallow it. Its like a tank/bag. It holds foods and digegests them in a hydrocloric acid enzym, which it produces. It breaks down food into even smaller bits than what you originally chewed with your mouth...chewing definitely helps the stomach do its job. It is the place that protiens are digested.
