How is digestion in the mouth and stomach similar?
Digestion in the mouth and stomach both involve mechanical and chemical processes to break down food. In the mouth, chewing (mechanical) and saliva (chemical) begin the breakdown of food, while in the stomach, churning (mechanical) and gastric juices (chemical) further digest it. Both processes aim to transform food into a more digestible form, facilitating nutrient absorption later in the digestive tract. Additionally, enzymes play a crucial role in both locations, aiding in the breakdown of carbohydrates in the mouth and proteins in the stomach.
Does the esophagus breakdown food?
