When food enters the stomach, it releases protein digesting chemicals such as Pepsin. It also secrets acids such as Hydrochloric Acid which breaks down the food further and also kills off any excess bacteria. The stomach is a muscular organ, so it contracts and this helps break down the food prior to it entering the duodenum.
