Hello friends! Today, we’ll learn about the human stomach. It’s always fun to dance with friends; it helps our bodies and minds relax. However, consuming too many junk food items can be harmful to the stomach because they contain various toxic elements. If you experience pain in your upper abdomen on the left side of your body, this is where the stomach is located.
Let me explain all about the human stomach. Whatever you eat goes to your stomach, which is a J-shaped muscular organ that digests food. The human stomach has three main functions:
1. **Storing Food**: After you eat, food typically spends 2 to 4 hours in your stomach, depending on the type of food, the quantity, and other factors.
2. **Mixing and Breaking Down Food**: The muscles in the stomach move the contents around, crushing and mixing the solid parts of the food into a soft pulp.
3. **Producing Enzymes**: Stomach cells produce pepsin, which is the main gastric enzyme for breaking down proteins and digesting food.
It’s great that you’re choosing something healthy, which will make your stomach happy! Now, let’s look at the parts of the stomach’s anatomy:
– **Cardia**: The top part of your stomach that contains the cardiac sphincter, which prevents food from traveling back up your esophagus.
– **Fundus**: A rounded section next to the cardia that stores both undigested food and gases.
– **Corpus**: The largest section and main body of your stomach, where the stomach contracts and begins to mix foods.
– **Antrum**: Located below the corpus, it holds food until the stomach is ready to send it to the small intestine.
– **Pylorus**: The bottom part of your stomach that includes the pyloric sphincter, which controls when and how the stomach contents move to the small intestine.
The stomach is part of the gastrointestinal tract, a series of hollow organs joined in a long tube from the mouth to the anus. Food moves through the GI tract in several steps:
1. **Mouth**: As you chew and swallow, your tongue pushes food into your throat. A small piece of tissue called the epiglottis covers your windpipe to prevent choking.
2. **Esophagus**: Food travels down an elongated organ called the esophagus. At the bottom, the esophageal sphincter relaxes to let food travel to your stomach.
3. **Stomach**: It holds food until it is ready to empty into your small intestine.
4. **Small Intestine**: Food mixes with digestive juices from your intestine, liver, and pancreas. The intestinal walls absorb nutrients and water from food and send waste products to the large intestine.
5. **Large Intestine**: Your large intestine turns waste products into stool and pushes it into your rectum.
6. **Rectum**: It collects and holds your stool until it’s time to release it.
Always remember to fill your plate with fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants and fiber to keep your stomach happy. Now you know a lot about this topic! Stay tuned for more videos. Bye-bye!
