OCR: STOM ACH OUR STOMACH is a J-shaped bag that lies under the left side of your liver. It acts as storage organ so that food can be eaten at intervals rather than continuously. Its muscular walls stretch greatly to hold the food, and contract to churn the food up into cloudy liquid, called chyme, which IS easier to digest. The walls also secrete su bstances that help break down the podj before t passes to the small intestine. Body Large central region Blood vessels Stom : ach lining pooy breal pooj
