Yes. Mechanical digestion in the mouth is when you are chewing. There is also chemical digestion which is the enzymes in saliva that start to break up starches into simple sugars in saliva.
In the Mouth then the second is the Stomach

Mechanical digestion is a kind of digestion that takes place when food is chewed, mixed, or churned anywhere in your digestive track. two places it takes place are in the stomach and the mouth.
In humans most mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth through chewing.
Mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth (chewing) and the stomach swishing stuff around (peristalsis) and more churning the small intestine (segmentation)

what is responsible for chemical digestion in earthworms
Mechanical and chemical digestion. In mechanical digestion the teeth breakdown food into smaller pieces and in chemical digestion the salivary glands breaks down the food molecules.
Digestion first takes place in the mouth, then the stomach, and then in the small intestines.
Both chemical and mechanical digestion take place in the mouth and stomach. The organs both break food into smaller parts, and use enzymes to break down food chemically.
actually the mechanical digestion takes place first in our body that is the whole process of digestion we normally study. where the whole process is of getting things like glucose, minerals, proteins etc.. but the chemical digestion takes place at the cellular level means in the cells that is the break down of glucose in getting energy to work or metabolism of the cells
Yes, digestion starts in the mouth, before peristalsis takes place. The mouth breaks up food, and starts the chemical digestion of starches.
