The salivary glands in the mouth secrete enzymes in saliva that begin chemical digestion.
What is the name of the organ in the digestive system where the chemical breakdown of food primarily occurs?
Some chemical digestion of carbohydrates occurs in the mouth with salivary amylase. Most chemical digestion occurs in the duodenum of the small intestine.
What type of digestion is done by salivary glands?
salivary glands donot digest salivary amylase converts starch to glucose
Where does digestion begin at?

What is the type of digestion the salivary glands have chemical physical both or neither?
Chemical digestion
The secretions of the salivary glands begin the digestion of what?
starches
Secretions of salivary glands begin the digestion of?
carbohydratesstarch
What produces a product containing amylase that begins starch breakdown in the mouth?
No, amylase begins the conversion of starch into the disaccharide maltose although this conversion is incomplete because food is in the mouth for a relatively short period of time. protein digestion begins in the stomach.
What is the function of the salivary gllands?
