In the Mouth then the second is the Stomach
No chemical or mechanical digestion occurs in the esophagus, only propulsion, which is one of the six digestive processes.
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.
The type of digestion that chewing is referred to as is mechanical digestion.
Mechanical Digestion (or physical digestion) is more about the mouth. It's chewing, biting, breaking down, and sofening the food. This is why its called "Mechanical" Digestion.Mechanical digestion involves the pulverizing and crushing of food particles, usually by chewing. Chemical digestion occurs through the secretion of digestive juices.
By definition mechanical digestion is a physical part of digestion.
Peristalsis. The movement of muscles bringing the food to the stomach.

The small intestine is a coiled tube in which chemical digestion occurs.
