The round bodies, or cells, seenin these glands make a juice, called the gastric as soon as food reaches the stomach these cellsbegin to pour out this juice, which is to change muchof the food. At the same time the muscles on theoutside of the stomach begin to contract, mixing thefood thoroughly with the juice. The gastric juice changes certain of our foods so thatthey can be taken up by minute vessels and carried toall parts of the body. Not all the foods we take are di-gested in the stomach by this juice ; some of them passout of the stomach as they entered it, and are digestedin the canal near it. The oily or fatty foods, and all thestarchy foods that are not changed in the mouth, are di-gested after they have left the stomach; but such foods asthe lean meats and eggs (albuminous foods) are digestedin the stomach.
