Does digestion begin in your stomach?
Correctly, physical digestion begins in the mouth, when foodstuffs are pulverised and mashed up into small pieces, and coated with saliva, to make swallowing easier and to increase it's surface area. This process is completed in the stomach, where food is liquified by strong hydrochloric acid secreted by the gastric glands to make it easy to assimilate. All these processes are classed as physical digestion, but not actual ABSORPTION- this takes place in the small intestines. The only substance absorbed by the stomach is alcohol.
Does the protein digestion begin in the stomach and is it completed in the small intestine?
Yes. The digestion of protein begins in the stomach with the enzyme pepsin and ends in the small intestine using enzymes secreted by the pancreas. Once the enzymes have broken the proteins into their amino acids, they can then be absorbed by the epithelial tissue lining the small intestine.

What part of the body is protein digested in?
Protein digestion primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine. In the stomach, the acidic environment and enzyme pepsin begin breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. These peptides are further broken down into amino acids in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes.
What is the second stage of digestion?
The second stage of digestion occurs in the stomach. Here, food is mixed with stomach acid and digestive enzymes to further break down proteins and begin the process of nutrient absorption.
