Solution

Once the food reaches the stomach, it mixes with the digestive juices and the acids in the stomach. The muscles of the stomach moves in a fashion to mix the food and the juices. This movement is called churning. Some proteins are partially broken down into smaller pieces, but not all nutrients are digested in the stomach.
