Mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth (chewing) and the stomach swishing stuff around (peristalsis) and more churning the small intestine (segmentation)

let me tell all your something i want how digestion takes places.
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.
As far as I know there is no digestion at all in the large intestine, only absorption.
There is the small intestine, stomach, and the mouth, and that is all that i can think of. Hope this answer helps you people out there looking for three of the organs for mechanical digestion. But if not....... well that sucks for you.
Yes. Digestion is happening as long as there is food in your stomach/intestines, and usually takes 5-7 hours.
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).
The mechanical digestion processes in the large intestine is commonly referred to as peristalsis. The colon is the last stop in the digestive system and this where liquids are extracted from non-nutritive food waste before excretion.
It absorbs all the calcium.
The stomach has a very acidic environment. This favors the breakdown of proteins. An enzyme (i.e. a biological catalyst) called trypsin is active at acidic conditions (gastric juice) and is responsible for the break down of proteins in the stomach.
Mechanical digestion is done by the action of upper and lower jaw, grinding food between the teeth.Chemical digestion is begun in the mouth by enzymes secreted by the salivary glands that begin to chemically break food particles into smaller components that can be absorbed by the body and used for metabolism. Chemical digestion continues in the stomach and small intestine.
i'm pretty suure.. it's digestion.
