The mouth starts the digestive process by supplying saliva which aids in getting the food chewed to a consistency that is easily swallowed. When saliva is activated and chewing as well, it activates the gastric juices and gets them flowing, the gastric juices which contain Hydrochloic Acid ) (HCL) the HCL helps break down the foods to get the foods through the digestive tract.
