because the inside of our stomach is protected by a mucosal layer that prevents its own digestion. Now, it doesn't mean that the inside of the stomach can never be damaged by the gastric juice. An ulcer occurs when this layer of mucus has been destroyed by the acidity of the gastric juice (with the help of certain bacterial infections in the stomach).
so that farmers can watch the food digest inside the cows stomach and make foods that digest easier.
I believe the perforating gastric ulcer releases the acid, inside the stomach, which can then damages the pancreas, due to how close the pancreas and stomach are.
It is a reaction with gastric acids.
generation through mitosis of new cells to replace the stomach lining
Lipids are not digested in the stomach because the stomach mainly produces acidic gastric juices that are not effective at breaking down fats. Lipid digestion primarily occurs in the small intestine with the help of bile salts and pancreatic enzymes.
The sea star is the only animal that can turn its stomach inside-out. It does so by pushing its stomach out of its body to digest food externally before retracting it back inside.
The pyloric pump of the stomach empties what's inside the stomach into the duodenum. The pump is activated when the stomach distends. The pump is inhibited when there's acid inside the duodenum. The pump is also inhibited if there are substances difficult tot digest inside the duodenum.

The inside of a frog's stomach has hard ridges. These hard ridges help mix the food with the digestive fluids when the stomach muscles churn the contents. The shape of these hard ridges is actually the shape of frog's stomach.
The stomach lining is impervious to the acids in the stomach, therefore the digestive enzimes and acids do not have the ability to digest the stomach. Also raw meat is not immediately digested by the stomach, some people have had up to 5 lbs. of undigested raw meat in their intestines at times of surgury and autopsy.
Gastric juice is mixed with food in the stomach to promote digestion.
The ridges inside the stomach are known as rugae. They are folds in the stomach lining that allow the stomach to expand when it fills with food and liquid. Rugae also increase the surface area for gastric secretions, aiding in the digestive process by facilitating the mixing and breakdown of food.
