The mouth and stomach digest food mechanically.
Starts in the oral cavity and then the stomach.
Oral Cavity
oral cavity and stomach
Food is mechanically broken down in different regions of the body: in the mouth through chewing, in the stomach through churning and grinding, and in the small intestine through segmentation and peristalsis. Each of these regions plays a crucial role in ensuring food is broken down into smaller particles for better absorption of nutrients.

i know for sure that the mouth is one of them.
The Stomach uses muscle force and acid to break down food.
The mouth and the stomach help to break down food mechanically. In the mouth, food is chewed and mixed with saliva to form a bolus. In the stomach, muscles contract to churn and mix the food with gastric juices to form chyme.
Does the liver mechanically break down food or does it chemically do it? It's not a muscle so it doesn't break down food mechanically, but it does secrete chemicals that help to break food down, like bile, which is stored in the gall bladder and released to help break down fats and make them more soluble so that they can be absorbed by the body.
Enzymes break down the food in the mouth so you take all the nutrients.
The stomach mechanically breaks down food through a process called mechanical digestion, which involves the churning and mixing of food with gastric juices. This action helps to break down larger food particles into smaller pieces, making it easier for digestion and absorption in the intestines.
The crop stores food and the gizzard is used to mechanically break food down into smaller pieces.
