Why do you move food around in your mouth while you chew?
because : 1. it is uncomfortable if it sticks to the sides of the teeth 2. we want it to be small enough to be swallowed without difficulty 3. the tongue is the organ that moves the food to a place where it can be mechanically broken down by the teeth 4. it is a natural thing to mix the food with saliva which contains digestive enzymes called amylase that chemically breaks down starch in the food. the longer you mix, the more easy for the digestive system to digest it further Hope this helps...

What is the function of the muscle in the stomach?
It contractS and relaxes to churn the food and mix it with the bile and other digestive enzymes.
What are the digestive juices produced by the glands found along the food tube?
The digestive glands that act first are in the mouth salivary glands. Saliva produced by these glands contains an enzyme that begins to digest the starch from food into smaller molecules. An enzyme is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions in the body. The next set of digestive glands is in the stomach lining. They produce stomach acid and an enzyme that digests protein. A thick mucus layer coats the mucosa and helps keep the acidic digestive juice from dissolving the tissue of the stomach itself. In most people, the stomach mucosa is able to resist the juice, although food and other tissues of the body cannot. After the stomach empties the food and juice mixture into the small intestine, the juices of two other digestive organs mix with the food. One of these organs, the pancreas, produces a juice that contains a wide array of enzymes to break down the carbohydrate, fat, and protein in food. Other enzymes that are active in the process come from glands in the wall of the intestine. The second organ, the liver, produces yet another digestive juice bile. Bile is stored between meals in the gallbladder. At mealtime, it is squeezed out of the gallbladder, through the bile ducts, and into the intestine to mix with the fat in food. The bile acids dissolve fat into the watery contents of the intestine, much like detergents that dissolve grease from a frying pan. After fat is dissolved, it is digested by enzymes from the pancreas and the lining of the intestine.

True or false the stomach is made of strong muscles that mix the food with digestive juices.answers QUICK plz?
True: The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with digestive juices that have acids and enzymes, breaking it into much smaller, digestible pieces. An acidic environment is needed for the digestion that takes place in the stomach.
What role does the mouth play in the digestive system?
It breaks down the food then the stomach breaks down the rest. Your teeth break down the food by chewing and allows saliva to mix in to start digestion by converting carbohydrates into sugar. Various acids and bacteria in the stomach continue to break down the food, helped by bile and other gastric juices.
