digestion start from the mouth after food is chewed the teeth then breaks food into small pieces and increase surface area. Enzymes can then react with the food more quickly. The mouth possesses; we have the salivary glands which produces saliva containing MUCUS which makes food slippery and easy to swallow and also AMYLASE its an enzyme which catalyses the reaction which breaks down starch to maltose. Soft and slippery food is then rolled by the tongue and then swallowed pushed from mouth to PHARYNX it also pushes the bolus food over the epiglottis into the oesophagus also called gullet it has muscles in its wall which contract behind the food and pushes it along the gut called peristalsis. CARDIAC SPHINCTER regulates the entry of bolus food into the stomach

In the small intestine - After being in the stomach, food enters the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. It then enters the jejunum and then the ileum (the final part of the small intestine). In the small intestine, bile (produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder), pancreatic enzymes, and other digestive enzymes produced by the inner wall of the small intestine help in the breakdown of food.
