The name of that structure is stomach. Your stomach starts to digest the food. So the food becomes more liquid. It uses very strong acid for this purpose. The acid is hydrochloric acid. It is wonderful to have such strong acid to be used in your body.

That would be incorrect. Digestion begins in the mouth, when the saliva starts to break up carbohydrates and the teeth start grinding up the food. However, protein digestion does begin in the stomach.


Where does carbohydrate digestion begin and how does this digestion occur?

Carbohydrate digestion starts with the mastication (chewing of the mouth). There, the salivary amylase begins to break down the carbs into monosaccharides. Protein digestion begins in the stomach. Pepsin comes into play here and various enzyme proteases do as well
