mechanical digestion is when you are breaking down food almost by hand. you're breaking it down manually. an example of mechanical digestion is chewing. it begins in your mouth and ends once you swallow.
Food passes through the following organs in order during the process of digestion: mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus. Each organ plays a specific role in breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
The small intestine is the organ responsible for both chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. Enzymes and bile break down the food, while nutrients are absorbed through the small intestine's lining into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the small intestine. This organ plays a crucial role in the chemical digestion of food.
The organ in the digestive system where the chemical breakdown of food primarily occurs is the stomach. Here, gastric acids and enzymes break down food into smaller particles for further digestion and absorption in the intestines.
Digestion that occurs in the intestines is a chemical change.
