Does the small intestine have mechanical or chemical digestion?
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
How is machanicle digestion different for cheminal digestion?

What type of Mechanical digestion takes place in your mouth stomach and small intestines I?
Chemical and mechanical ingestion take place in the mouth. Chemical and mechanical digestion also take place in the stomach. Chemical digestion takes place in the small intestine.Ingestion, digestion then absorption.In the mouth, both chemical digestion and mechanical digestion happen. The mechanical part is your teeth crushing the food into smaller pieces. The chemical part is when the salivary glands give off a special fluid that contains enzymes. When food enters the stomach, an enzyme is released that helps to digest food chemicaly. The muscles in the stomach also digest food mechanicly. Lastly, the small intestine completes the chemical and mechanical digestion of food. The small intestine takes out all the useful matirial and sends it to the cells as tiny molecules that the cells use in cellular resparation.Baisicly, they all use chemical and mechanical digestion.
Where in the body is chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients completed?
Small and Large intestines
What is the initial site of mechanical and chemical digestion?
The mouth is the beginning of both mechanical and chemical digestion. Chewing breaks the food into smaller pieces and the saliva wets the food but also adds an enzyme called amylase that begins the digestion of carbohydrates.
What does the churning action of the stomach wall accomplish?
The churning action of the stomach wall accomplishes mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth and along with chemical digestion, ends in the small intestine.
Type of digestion that involves using enzymes and other body acid to break food down into smaller molecules?
