Chruning
Smooth muscle
mechanical breakdown of food and mixing food with saliva, also called mastication.
mechanical digestion - chewing, mixing, churning chemical digestion - breakdown of fat, carbohydrate and proteins by specific enzymes (lipases, amylases, and proteinases respectively)
Mechanical digestion is the breakdown of food through chewing, mixing, or churning. Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth and stomach. The food is physically torn apart through the teeth, tongue, stomach contractions, etc. This is counterpart to chemical digestion, where acids and other enzymes chemically pull apart the food.
Mechanical digestion happens in only in 2 of your digestion organs mouth and stomach. Mechanical digestion is the mechanical way you digest your food for example when your eating your teeth are mechanical digesting your food by making your food smaller by chewing on it your not changing your food in any way that only happens chemical digestion is happening.Another example of mechanical digestion is in your stomach when the food is bong to the stomach your stomach is squeezing mushing up the food to make it smaller (your stomach is made out of 3 lairs of mussel's which squeeze in all 3 different direction's).
Beyond being involved in the taste of food, sensory neurons do not have much of a role in breaking down food. The teeth do the grinding and the stomach is where most of the mixing takes place.
its the physical way of mixing
(("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.
The stomach begins the process of digestion by mixing and turning food.
the body of the stomach
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.
By simple mechanical mixing.
