Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stomach is a reservoir for gradual digestion, where food is churned and mixed with gastric juice to form chyme. The oral cavity and esophagus are part of the digestive system, but they are not reservoirs for digestion like the stomach. While the small intestine does play a major role in digestion and absorption of nutrients, it is not primarily a reservoir for gradual digestion.
