what are the six roles and functions of the stomach?

Answer 1

Functions of the stomach:
1. storage of food
2. expands to hold food after a meal
3. mixes food with gastric enzymes
4. releases protein-digesting enzymes
5. releases hormones to control stomach functions
6. releases mucus to protect the stomach lining from acids
7. releases a factor needed to absorb vit B
8. parietal cells in stomach lining produce hydrochloric acid

That gives you 8 that I can remember. :)
