stomach definition and meaning

What is "stomach"?

The stomach is a muscular organ located in the upper abdomen that plays a key role in the digestion of food. It receives food from the esophagus and breaks it down further using acid and enzymes, preparing it for further digestion and absorption in the intestines. The stomach also helps regulate the release of food into the small intestine and aids in the digestion of proteins.
