The stomach lining produces digestive ______ and _________. ________ muscle tissue contracts to mix the contents. The stomach is richly supplied with________ that signal when we have had enough to eat.

Answer 1

Hint: The digestive system also known as the gastrointestinal tract contains the stomach as one of its components. The main function is the intake of food then digest it and then finally excrete it. The process of digestion takes place in the stomach and it involves the secretion of hormones and muscle tissue to accomplish the act.

Complete answer: The stomach is a strong, empty organ in the gastrointestinal tract of people and numerous different creatures, including a few spineless creatures. It is located between the oesophagus and the small intestine(duodenum). The stomach has an enlarged structure and capacities as an essential organ of the digestive system. In the stomach related framework, the stomach is engaged with the second period of assimilation, following biting. It plays out a compound breakdown by methods for chemicals and hydrochloric acid. The pyloric sphincter controls the entry of chyme (digested food). It is further divided into four parts- Cardia, Fundus, Body, and Pylorus. The maximum stomach volume in humans is two to four liters.
THE STOMACH- The main function is to store/hold food and churn it to continue the process of digestion. The stomach lining produces digestive enzymes and acids (Hydrochloric acid). Oblique(smooth) muscle tissue contracts to mix the contents. The stomach is richly supplied with nerves that signal when we have had enough to eat.

Note: Stomach is one of the vital organs of the digestive system and it performs the function such as-
a. Digestion- In this, the food is acted upon by chemicals and is then digested with the help of secretions from the accessory organs beside it.
b. Absorption- Minor amounts of molecules are absorbed in the stomach as most of the molecules are absorbed in the small intestine.
c. Control of secreted chemicals.
