An overly full stomach can push against the small intestine and obstruct the movement of food.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stomach pushing against the small intestine does not obstruct the movement of food; instead, it's the process of digestion and peristalsis that moves food through the gastrointestinal tract. Obstructions are typically caused by physical blockages or functional issues within the intestines themselves, not by an overly full stomach.
