Most digestion of food takes place in the stomach?
The digestive system includes; mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, anus, pancreas, liver and gall bladder. The purpose of the entire digestive system is to break down foods into nutrients that can be absorbed into the blood.
What are mandibular teeth?
Mandibular teeth are the set of teeth located in the lower jaw, known as the mandible. They are used for biting and chewing food and are essential for proper digestion. Mandibular teeth include incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.
When does mechanical digestion take place?
Mostly in the mouth (mastication) and the stomach.
The place where digestion takes place in many protozoa is called?
The place where digestion takes place in many protozoa is called the vacuole. The vacuole contains enzymes that help in breaking down food particles for absorption and energy production.
Where does the majority of all digestion take place?
The majority of digestion takes place in the small intestine. This is where nutrients from food are broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body. Enzymes and acids in the small intestine help further break down the food particles.
Does the esophagus of an earthworm lie beneath the pharynx?
Yes, the esophagus of an earthworm lies beneath the pharynx. The esophagus is the part of the digestive system that connects the pharynx to the crop, where the initial stages of digestion take place in an earthworm.
Where does maximum digestion of food take place in a vertebrate animal?
The small intestine is where most of the food taken in by vertebrates is digested. It is also absorbed there.

What happens in the different stages of the GI tract?
GI tract is basically a system of organs in multicellular organisms which help in intake and digestion of food extracting the energy and nutrients.This also involves expelling the wastes. The basic steps the food undergoes once its taken in are 1.Ingestion 2.Digestion 3.Absorption 4.Defecation The whole system can be divided in to two regions a) The upper GI and b)The lower GI The upper GI consists of mouth,pharynx,esophagus and stomach which are involved in the process of intake of the food that is ingestion and in digestion of the food. Whereas the remaining processes takes place in the lower GI which contains bowel or intestine and anus.Absorption and defecation takes place in the lower GI. The bowel consists of Small intestine:-Duodenum,Jejunum,Ileum Large intestine:-Cecum,colon,rectum. There are several gastrointestinal hormones which control the various functions of the GI. There are several other factors and enzymes which are involved the process of digestion and transportation of food and absorption of food in the stomach.
Where does carbohydrate digestion takes place?
Digestion first takes place in the mouth, then the stomach, and then in the small intestines.
How does food storage and digestion take place in amoeba?
The digestion of food in Amoeba takes place in the food vacuole. :)
What is extracellular digestion?
Extracellular digestion is a process in which saprobionts feed by secreting enzymes through the cell membrane onto the food. The enzymes catalyse the digestion of the food into molecules small enough to be taken up by passive diffusion, transport or phagocytosis. These nutrients are transferred into the blood or other body fluids. Since digestion occurs outside the cell, it is said to be extracellular. It takes place either in the lumen of the digestive system, in a gastric cavity or other digestive organ, or completely outside the body.Extracellular digestion is a form of digestion found in all saprobiontic annelids, crustaceans, arthropods, lichens and chordates, including vertebrates.

Where does digestion end?
The large intestines is where the final step of digestion takes place.
Where does the process of digestion begin and where does most of digestion of food take place?
mouth
