Babies grow in the uterus, not the stomach. Otherwise they would be digested.
Would all the protein you eat be digested by the time it leaves the stomach?
No, not all the protein you eat is fully digested by the time it leaves the stomach. The stomach primarily breaks down proteins into smaller peptides through the action of stomach acids and the enzyme pepsin. However, complete digestion occurs mainly in the small intestine, where enzymes from the pancreas and the intestinal lining further break down these peptides into amino acids for absorption. Thus, significant protein digestion continues beyond the stomach.
Why carbohydrates not digested in stomach?
because if it did then your whole digestive system would have to be in your mouth
What is happens to food in the stomach?

Why do we have enzyme in our stomach to break proteins down?
Enzymes in our stomach, primarily pepsin, are essential for breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This process is crucial because proteins from our diet must be digested to be absorbed and utilized by the body for various functions, including building and repairing tissues, producing hormones, and supporting immune function. The acidic environment of the stomach activates these enzymes, ensuring efficient protein digestion. Without these enzymes, our bodies would struggle to access the nutrients necessary for overall health and functioning.
Why are some vaccines not taken orally?
You see dear, it is because some vaccines when taken orally would either be digested and denatured by enzymes or acid in the stomach. Causing it to be ineffective. As a result most are injected such as insulin and vaccines for hepatitis B.
How does enzymes help digsetion?
Digestive enzymes break down macromolecules into smaller, more soluble products of digestion. Proteases, lipases, amylase are some of these enzymes that digest particular substrates. Enzymes are catalysts, so without them, nutrients would not be digested quick enough for us to survive. They are quite literally, the difference between life and death.
How might stomach enzymes differ from other enzymes?
Stomach enzymes are specialized to function in the acidic environment of the stomach, whereas other enzymes may function in a neutral or alkaline environment. Stomach enzymes such as pepsin are mainly involved in digesting proteins, while other enzymes may have diverse roles in metabolism, signaling, or other biochemical processes. Stomach enzymes are secreted by the stomach lining in response to food intake, while other enzymes may be produced in various organs or tissues throughout the body.
If you ate your stomach where would it go?
First of all: You would die without a stomach, so this is a fictional answer. Answer: It would probably go like normal meat in the beginning, you would eat it, chew it in little pieces, swallow it.

The digestive system the mouth and esophagus help break the food into small parts the stomach uses acids and enzymes to break the food into even smaller parts the intestines absorb the nutrients and any extra water in the food
