The primary body parts that churn food into smaller pieces are the stomach and the intestines. The stomach uses muscular contractions, known as peristalsis, along with gastric juices to break down food into a semi-liquid form called chyme. Once the food passes into the intestines, further churning and mixing occur, aided by intestinal muscles and digestive enzymes, facilitating nutrient absorption.
Stomach
Yes there is nothing smaller
The part of your digestive system that functions like a mixer is the stomach. It uses muscular contractions to churn and mix food with gastric juices, breaking it down into a semi-liquid substance called chyme. This mixing action helps to facilitate digestion and prepare the food for further breakdown and absorption in the small intestine.
No, undigested food is not part of body cells. Undigested food consists of components that the body was unable to break down and absorb during the digestion process. The body processes undigested food differently, such as excreting it through feces.
Human body is not making food. only plants making food.

Stomach. Your stomach helps you the churn up the food using acid

The stomach would be the only part of the digestive tract that could be described as churning and mixing the food.
The body part that makes the food you eat into smaller parts is the mouth, specifically through the action of the teeth. Chewing breaks down food into smaller pieces, making it easier to digest. Additionally, saliva produced by the salivary glands helps to further soften and break down food chemically. This process is essential for proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
The mouth, specifically the teeth, grinds the food into smaller pieces with the help of saliva containing enzymes that begin the digestion process.
Yes there is nothing smaller
The digestive system the mouth and esophagus help break the food into small parts the stomach uses acids and enzymes to break the food into even smaller parts the intestines absorb the nutrients and any extra water in the food
No mechanical changes take place while food is being digested. However a couple mechanical processes happen to aid digestion. The first of these is the chewing or grinding of the food in the mouth and the second of them is the peristaltic contractions of the muscles of the digestive system to churn up the food with the digestive juices and move it though the intestines.
Your Stomach and your intestines Hold The Food In Your Body. But Your Mouth Chews The Food Down.
rocks :)
The stomach mixes food through a process called peristalsis, which involves rhythmic contractions of the stomach muscles that churn and stir the food. The lower part of the stomach, known as the antrum, is particularly important for this mixing process due to its muscular contractions.
