What digestive process normally takes place in the mouth?
Mouth, esophagus, stomach
These secrete digestive enzymes in the mouth to help the digestive process begin in the mouth?
Salivary glands.
The digestive enzyme amylase is normally secreted into which two regions of the digestive tract?
The digestive enzyme-amylase is secreted in two regions of the digestive tract.i.e.(1) salivary amylase by salivary glands in the buccal cavity.(2) pancreatic amylase by pancreas in the duodenum.
What happens in the mouth at the beginning of the digestive process?
The action of chewing produces extra saliva - which contains digestive enzymes.
How are interfersons administered?
Interferons are normally injected. They are not taken by mouth as the strong digestive enzymes of the stomach will degrade them
Do glands in the stomach produce the first digestive juices used in the digestive process?
The first digestive juices are those produced in saliva that is excreted into the mouth.
What are chemicals found in the digestive process called?
They are called digestive enzymes. There are many that are used in the process, beginning in the mouth with enzymes that begin the break down of starches.
Which activity normally occurs in the esophagus of a human body?

Where do most of the digestive process occur in the small intestine?
Most of the digestive process occurs in the duodenum and jejunum of the small intestine. This is where food mixes with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile to break down nutrients into forms that can be absorbed by the body.
What percentage of digestion occurs in mouth?
Digestion in the mouth accounts for about 5-10% of the total digestive process. The primary function in the mouth is mechanical breakdown through chewing, along with the enzymatic action of saliva, particularly the enzyme amylase, which begins the digestion of carbohydrates. Most digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine, where further breakdown and absorption of nutrients take place.
