The mouth and stomach both play parts in the digestive system ;also in chemical and physical digestion.In chemical digestion, in the mouth the saliva is mixed with enzymes which breaks down food into bolus and in the stomach acids break down the food turning it into chyme.

In Physical digestion in the mouth the teeth tears the food and the stomach churns it.
