the salivary glands secrete enzymes (particularly salivary amylase or ptyalin) necessary for the initial digestion of starch in the mouth. namely, these are the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands.
no enzymes are biological catalysts they are produced by certain enzyme secreting organs and help reactions to take place whereas , in the mouth saliva is present which is made up of the enzyme ptaylin and mucus
The teeth begin the process by chewing your food into smaller pieces. You also made some enzymes (salivary glands) that begin the breakdown of sugars and other enzymes that begin the breakdown of lipids (by the tongue). You also make mucous that helps 'slid' the food along. Not much else occurs until the bolus of food reaches the stomach.
They help break down the food we eat by breaking down the glucose in the food into smaller sugars.
Lipase, amylase, and lyzozyme are the most abundant enzymes in saliva
breakdown of food
Amylases
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva contains enymes and breaks the food down chemically.
mechanical digestion is when you are breaking down food almost by hand. you're breaking it down manually. an example of mechanical digestion is chewing. it begins in your mouth and ends once you swallow.
I think teeth because you chew before you do anything else. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :) yes i think that's right!!
Digestion ends in the large intestine.
Chemical digestion of the starch starts in the mouth. Ptylin is the enzyme, which is secreted in the saliva. Ptylin breaks down the starch. This process continue in the stomach till acid neutralize the ptylin.
The digestion process begins in the mouth.
Digestion begins in the mouth and ends in the large intestine.
Mouth. Mastication and saliva begins the food break down process
Mouth
Digestion begins in the mouth. Mechanical digestion begins with the chewing of food. Chemical digestion also begins in the mouth with the enzymes been produced and used to break down the food.

In the mouth.
enzymes start the process of digestion in the mouth. they are located more specifically in saliva which is located in the salivary glands.
Yes.
The Mouth
the digestion of proteins begin in the stomach.
Starch digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva in the mouth enables chemical digestion to take place before starch enters the stomach.
