Food is churned up and mixed with acid primarily in the stomach. The stomach's muscular walls contract to break down food while gastric juices, which contain hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, help to further digest the food. This acidic environment not only aids in digestion but also helps kill harmful bacteria. The resulting mixture is called chyme, which is then gradually released into the small intestine for further digestion and nutrient absorption.
