Once in the stomach, more chemical and mechanical digestion occurs. The crushing and breaking action of the stomachs contractions with HCl help not only break down food, but also lend a hand in converting pepsinogen to the enzyme pepsin. This enzyme in the stomach takes the roll of the chemical digester, and breaks certain peptide bonds, thereby breaking up proteins in the stomach. Partly digested food from the stomach now travels to the small intestine, through the pyloric sphincter, and is know as chyme.
copyright. all right reserved It doesn't the only kind of digestion is Chemical Digestion which is caused by your Stomach Acid. :) Mechanical digestion does occur in the stomach along with chemical digestion. The stomach squeezes the chyme and that is considered to be mechanical digestion.
The mouth, specifically the teeth, breaks down food mechanically through the process of chewing. The stomach also contributes to mechanical breakdown through muscle contractions that help mix and churn food.
The stomach churns the food into smaller pieces then gastric juices are released to break down any bugs or any other bad things , also gastric juices keep the nutrition in the food.
The stomach produces an acid to help digest food.
they digest food in your stomach they digest food in your stomach
the acids in your stomack burn the food in to a solid and if you drink something like water, juice,etc it messes up the acids and it dont work right :)
