The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach for digestion. It uses rhythmic contractions to push the food down and prevent it from going back up.
Mostly in the mouth (mastication) and the stomach.
Chemical digestion typically occurs in the stomach and small intestine after food is broken down mechanically through chewing and churning. Enzymes and acids help to break down food molecules into smaller nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
The stomach does not take in air as its primary function. However, it is possible for air to enter the stomach when swallowing food or beverages, which can lead to bloating or flatulence.
Food typically remains in the stomach for 2-4 hours, depending on the composition of the meal. Foods high in fat take longer to digest, while liquids and simpler carbohydrates pass through more quickly. The stomach acts as a reservoir where food is broken down and mixed with digestive juices before passing into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption.
