After being swallowed, the food passes from the esophagus into the stomach, where stomach acid and enzymes help to break down the food. Once food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine, the pancreas secretes enzymes and alkali to neutralize the stomach acid.
The stomach is a distensible organ and can normally expand to hold about one litre of food. [22] This expansion is enabled by a series of gastric folds in the inner walls of the stomach. The stomach of a newborn baby will only be able to expand to retain about 30 ml.

The linea alba is a white, fibrous band that is made of the bilateral rectus sheaths that join at the anterior midline of the body.
