Does the stomach use mechanical or chemical breakdown?
It uses both mechanical and chemical breakdown. The muscles of the stomach and the stoma (well a special opening that allows food to enter and to leave) push food into the intestines. Acid within the stomach and other no so famous chemicals break down the food to be small enough to be processed in the intestines and colons. Another device helps the stomach and uses chemical breakdown too: The gall bladder emits bile and the liver filters broken down matter and dangerous matter (such as alcohol, diseases, foreign matter (smoke, marijuana, poison, etc).
