What is the role of the stomach after the mouth is finishes to bolus the food?
After the mouth has finished chewing and forming the bolus, the stomach's role is to further break down the bolus through the process of mechanical and chemical digestion. The stomach muscles contract to mix and churn the bolus, while gastric acid and enzymes are secreted to help break down the food into a semi-liquid mixture called chyme. Additionally, the stomach helps control the rate at which chyme is released into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
