The mesentaries are part of the digestive system, they help hold the small intestine in place. It is actually an extension of the peritoneal wall that creates the mesentaries, so technically they are connective tissues associated with the gastrointestinal system.
Structural adaptation in physical digestion of the stomach?
Your stomach is coated with mucous coat. This is made of sugars and there is no peptide bond, there in mucous. So the stomach is protected from the killing action of pepsin enzyme on the stomach wall.
What is the only externally visible part of the respiratory system?

What does trypsin do in chemical digestion?
It neutralizes the hydrochloric acid from the stomach. When the digestion of the protein is finished in the stomach, the HCl is not removed from the stomach and is passed down to the duodenum. Since the small intestine cannot handle such low pH, it releases trypsin which neutralizes the HCl so that the optimal level of pH can be reached (around 7). Without trypsin, all the digestive enzymes releases in the small intestine, along with the wall of the intestine itself would be broken down and eaten away by the strong acid.

The stomach has a slightly thicker wall than the small intestine as the stomach secretes acids that are used to break down food, while the small intestine's job is just to transport the food through the digestive system
What body part stores and breaks down food?
It is most likely the the stomach since the intestines do not break down food. The stomach is filled with extremely strong acids that are powerful enough to dissolve razor blades whole. The food drops into our stomachs and immediately breaks down. Then the stomach passes what is left through the Pyloric Sphincter (the wall passage between stomach and small intestine). The small intestine then absorbs all the nutrients through the villi (small hairlike cells on the inner intestine walls). Once the food reaches the large intestine, bile is added to the food, turning it into our stool, while absorbing liquids and salts from the product. Then the food leaves our bodies, only so we can obtain more.
