Question

what will happen if there is no stomach in the body

Open in App
Solution

Partial digestion of food takes place in the stomach where its churning action physically breaks down food. It releases acids (HCl) and enzymes (eg. pepsin) for the chemical breakdown of food. Thus, in its absence, all these functions would be hampered and digestion will not take place properly.
