The Stomach

 

         The stomach is a hollow muscular bag at the end of the esophagus. It is just above the 

waistline, on the left side. The part below the waistline is the abdomen, not the stomach. The 

stomach can stretch if you eat a big meal. 

        The inner walls of the stomach are covered with glands that make gastric juice. The walls of 

the stomach tumble, shake, squeeze, and mix the food with the gastric juice. This makes the food 

look like thick soup. Eacg day, about two liters of gastric juice is made in the stomach.
