This form of digestion starts in the mouth with the salivary gland witch break down food
Chemical digestion and mechanical digestion
Chewing is mechanical digestion.
Mechanical digestion stands for the break down of food by chewing. Mechanical digestion is the physical part of the digestion process of the human body.
By definition mechanical digestion is a physical part of digestion.
Mechanical digestion in humans is completed in the stomach.
Saliva begins the chemical digestion of starch. It also is important for the success of mechanical digestion of the mouth, but does not, in its own, perform mechanical digestion.
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
Mechanical digestion must come first because it helps break down food
The mouth is the beginning of both mechanical and chemical digestion. Chewing breaks the food into smaller pieces and the saliva wets the food but also adds an enzyme called amylase that begins the digestion of carbohydrates.
Mechanical digestion is produced by breaking down and chewing food. This process involves the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces that can be further digested and absorbed by the body.
Yes, that is what mechanical digestion is. §§
chemical digestion is breaking down with saliva, and mechanical digestion is chewing...(break down with chew!):):P
