Stomach
In anatomy, the stomach is a bean-shaped hollow muscular organ of the gastrointestinal tract involved in the second phase of digestion, following mastication. The word stomach is derived from the Latin stomachus, which derives from the Greek word stomachos . The words gastro- and gastric (meaning related to the stomach) are both derived from the Greek word gaster .
