Food is mechanically ground in the mouth by the teeth during the process of chewing. This initial mechanical breakdown of food helps to increase the surface area for enzymes to further break down the food during digestion.
Digestion occurs as food is broken down both chemically by enzymes and acids and mechanically by chewing and stomach contractions. This process helps to convert food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body for energy and other functions.
Food is mechanically broken down in different regions of the body: in the mouth through chewing, in the stomach through churning and grinding, and in the small intestine through segmentation and peristalsis. Each of these regions plays a crucial role in ensuring food is broken down into smaller particles for better absorption of nutrients.
your teeth and tong. as you chew your teeth crush and grind the food into small pieces, the saliva causes the food to chemically break down and your tong moves it around in your mouth to make the small ball that can be swallowed.
Chemical digestion typically occurs in the stomach and small intestine after food is broken down mechanically through chewing and churning. Enzymes and acids help to break down food molecules into smaller nutrients that can be absorbed by the body.
The superiormost parts of the body are farthest from the ground.

The mouth is the first site of digestion in the human body. In the mouth food is broken down mechanically by the jaw and chemically by saliva.
When your body breaks down food into nutrients, chemical digestion is taking place. In contrast, physical digestion breaks down food mechanically into smaller particles.
For mammals (like people) food is broken apart mechanically by chewing. It the mixes with several different body fluids (starting with saliva) that will start digestion- changing the food you ate into a form that can be absorbed by your body in the intestines. Undigested food is excreted from the body as feces (poop).
Does the liver mechanically break down food or does it chemically do it? It's not a muscle so it doesn't break down food mechanically, but it does secrete chemicals that help to break food down, like bile, which is stored in the gall bladder and released to help break down fats and make them more soluble so that they can be absorbed by the body.
The mouth, specifically the teeth, breaks down food mechanically through the process of chewing. The stomach also contributes to mechanical breakdown through muscle contractions that help mix and churn food.
The mouth is where food is chewed.
In the stomach
Food is mechanically broken down in different regions of the body: in the mouth through chewing, in the stomach through churning and grinding, and in the small intestine through segmentation and peristalsis. Each of these regions plays a crucial role in ensuring food is broken down into smaller particles for better absorption of nutrients.
