What else can I help you with?
Is mechanical physical or chemical?
Mechanical digestion is considered a physical process and includes actions such as mastication (chewing) and peristalsis (squeezing) of the intestine.
What begins mechanical breakdown of food through mastication?
The mechanical breakdown of food starts with the saliva in your mouth.
Is peristalsis chemical digestion or mechanical?
It's mechanical. Peristalsis includes muscles moving material through the digestive system.Yes
Begins mechanical breakdown of food through?
Chewing begins mechanical breakdown of food through mastication
When does mechanical digestion take place?
Mostly in the mouth (mastication) and the stomach.
Chewing and turning are examples of this type of digestion?
Mechanical, or more specific mastication.
What is mastification?
mechanical breakdown of food and mixing food with saliva, also called mastication.
does mechanical digestion includes mastication and segmentation?
Yes, mechanical digestion includes both mastication and segmentation. Mastication refers to the chewing of food in the mouth, breaking it down into smaller pieces to facilitate digestion. Segmentation occurs in the intestines, where rhythmic contractions mix food with digestive juices and further break it down. Both processes are essential for enhancing the efficacy of chemical digestion.
What is term for the chemical breakdown of food in the mouth?
Mastication, commonly known as chewing, is the term for the mechanical breakdown of food in the mouth.
What does mastification mean?
(("Mastication" means; to chew and/or grind and knead.)) Yes, but seeing as the how the question asked what mastiFIcation means and not in fact mastication, I will answer this correctly. Mastification is the mechanical breakdown of food, then mixing the food with saliva. Thoroughly uncommon term.
Mechanical digestion in the mouth what is it?
Mechanical digestion in the mouth is the process of chewing the food by the teeth with the help of saliva. The whole process taking place inside the mouth. The process is called "mastication."
What is it called when it break down foods?
The mechanical shredding and crushing of food (together with the mixing in of salivary amylase to start digestion) is mastication.
