The digestive process begins in your mouth. Food is partly broken down by the process of chewing and then by the chemical action of salivary enzymes. These enzymes are produced by the salivary glands and they begin to break down starches into smaller molecules.
Once swallowed and in the stomach, the sack-like organ churns the food and bathes it in gastric acid. Food in the stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids is called chyme.
