The process of chemical digestion starts is your mouth! When you start chewing, your saliva helps break down the food as it goes down the esophagus.

What would happen to the mechanical and chemical digestion if you lost a large part of the stomach and what would happen to that person?

If a large part of the stomach is lost, it can affect both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion may be impaired due to a decrease in stomach capacity, impacting the mixing and breakdown of food. Chemical digestion can also be affected, as there may be a reduction in the secretion of digestive enzymes and acids, leading to incomplete digestion of nutrients. This can result in malabsorption issues, potential nutrient deficiencies, and digestive discomfort for the individual. In severe cases, it may require medical intervention to manage symptoms and support digestion.
