No mechanical changes take place while food is being digested. However a couple mechanical processes happen to aid digestion. The first of these is the chewing or grinding of the food in the mouth and the second of them is the peristaltic contractions of the muscles of the digestive system to churn up the food with the digestive juices and move it though the intestines.
