What else can I help you with?
Is your tongue involved in mechanical or chemical digestion?
The tongue is involved in both mechanical and chemical digestion. It helps break down food into smaller pieces through chewing (mechanical digestion) and it also helps mix food with saliva, which contains enzymes that start breaking down carbohydrates (chemical digestion).
Is the large intestine mechanical digestion or chemical?
The large intestine is mechanical digestion; it absorbs water and is involved in peristalsis. It has nothing to do with enzymes, which is chemical digestion.
What body parts is not involved in mechanical digestion?
Chemical digestion takes place in the stomach, the intestines, (saliva or enzymes) these parts of your body also use mechanical digestion.
Digestion occurs through both mechanical and chemical ways what is involved directly in mechanical digestion?
teeth
Is the large intestine chemical or mechanical?

Is the anus chemical or mechanical digestion?
The anus is not involved in either chemical or mechanical digestion. Its main function is to expel indigestible material out of the body in the form of feces.
Is pancreatic lipase mechanical or chemical digestion?
No, the pancreas is involved in chemical digestion, as it secretes enzymes which catalyze the breakdown of food molecules.
Is pharynx a mechanical or chemical digestion?
The pharynx is not directly involved in digestion. It is a part of the digestive and respiratory systems, serving as a passageway for food and air to travel through. The process of digestion involves mechanical and chemical actions that occur in organs like the mouth, stomach, and intestines.
Are teeth chemical or mechanical digestion?
Teeth are involved in mechanical digestion. They physically break down food by crushing, grinding, and cutting it into smaller pieces, making it easier for enzymes in the digestive system to access and break down nutrients.
Does the small intestine have mechanical or chemical digestion?
Yes, in part. Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth (saliva), stomach (gastric acid) and small intestine. The nutrients are mostly absorbed in the walls (lining) of the small intestine.
Is the bile duct involved directly or indirectly in mechanical or chemical digestion?
Indirectly in chemical digestion by the release of stored bile into the small intestine. The bile then emulsfies fats.
What organ system does the teeth belong to?
Teeth belong to the digestive system. They are part of the oral cavity and are involved in the initial mechanical breakdown of food during the process of digestion.
