Your stomach creates digestive juices and breaks down food. It holds food until it is ready to empty into your small intestine.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thats the function the stomach serves in the digestive system.

Answer 2

The stomach is J-shaped and it can expand to temporarily store food.Partial digestion of the food takes place here. The churning action of the stomach muscles physically breaks down the food.The stomach releases acids and enzymes for the chemical breakdown of food. The enzyme pepsin is responsible for protein breakdown.The stomach releases food into the small intestine in a controlled and regulated manner.
Chewed food passes from the esophagus into the stomach; the flow is somewhat regulated by the esophageal sphincter but more importantly depends on how fast you eat and if you are eating both solids and liquids. The passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine is controlled by the pyloric sphincter. The crushed and mixed food is liquefied to form chyme and is pushed through the pyloric canal into the small intestine.
