8. Role In Human HealthThe stomach prepares food for digestion in the small intestine. If the stomach is not functioning properly, there are many problems that can arise with regard to digestion. Further, the contents of the stomach are so acidic and caustic to other organs of the body that they can cause problems if they leak out of the stomach, as may happen with perforating ulcers of the duodenum or penetrating wounds of the abdomen.

10. CONCLUSIONThe stomach is a muscularorgan of the digestive tract. It is located between the esophagus and the small intestine. The stomach is hollow and sac-shaped. It is involved in the second phase of digestion, following mastication (chewing).The stomach produces protease enzymes and hydrochloric acid which kills bacteria and gives the right pH for the protease enzyme to work.
