The diet of humans is made up of foods comprising nutrients and energy sources. The digestive process commences in your mouth, where food you have eaten is chopped by your teeth and therein your salivary glands secrete saliva which lubricates the food and contains enzymes that begin to break down carbohydrates during a period of about one minute. Your mouth also contains sensory nerves in the taste buds on your tongue. Your tongue manipulates food in the mouth and forms it into small balls called boli for easy swallowing and from your mouth the food then passes into the pharynx or throat, which then pushes it into your oesophagus or gullet
