How does mouth action aid digestion?

The teeth cut, chop, and grind food into small pieces. Glands bring saliva into the mouth to moisten the food.

Once food has been reduced to a soft moist mass called a bolus, it is ready to be swallowed.

If the waste is aerobicly treated, it is less likely to absorb oxygen when it is ejected into a local river, and less likely to hurt local wildlife (fish).
