In the mouth, food undergoes mechanical and chemical changes. Mechanically, the teeth break down food into smaller pieces through chewing, while the tongue helps mix it with saliva. Chemically, enzymes in saliva, such as amylase, begin the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars. This process prepares the food for further digestion in the stomach and intestines.
