Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stomach's primary functions include storing food, killing bacteria with its acidic environment, and moving chyme (partially digested food) into the duodenum. However, the digestion of most foods, particularly their macromolecules (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates), primarily occurs in the small intestine, not the stomach. The stomach does play a role in the initial digestion of proteins through the action of pepsin.
