The stomach is adapted for digestion through its muscular walls, which contract to churn food and mix it with gastric juices, creating a semi-liquid mixture called chyme. It contains specialized cells that secrete hydrochloric acid, providing an acidic environment that activates digestive enzymes and helps break down proteins. Additionally, the stomach's lining is protected by mucus to prevent damage from the acid, ensuring efficient digestion while safeguarding its tissues. This combination of mechanical and chemical processes facilitates the effective breakdown of food before it enters the intestines for further digestion and nutrient absorption.
