the reason behind those stomach noises when you’re hungry
In: Biology
The growling in your stomach is caused by air moving around by the muscles in your stomach and intestines.
When you’re hungry, your stomach prepares for food you will eventually eat by moving around. Thisnlets you know its time to eat and gets ready to digest the food you eat.
The noises are actually there all the time, its just more obvious when you’re hungry. Your intestines rhythmically and move to push liquids and gases through you. Those contractions are what makes the noise. When its full you dont really notice, but when empty it becomes a much more hollow sound.
Just like how tapping on a bucket of sand would create brief, quiet noises, but on an empty one that noise would be a lot louder.
