There are a few physical changes that take place during digestion. Chewing food to reduce the size of the pieces and also gives the enzymes and other things more space to act on. Another is churning which is found in the stomach. Here the food is moved around somewhat like what happens in a mixing bowl. And the last is peristalsis which is a physical movement seen in the tract from the esophagus to the anus.
