Chew Your Food SLOWLY When people think digestion they most often think of intestines and their stomach. The truth is that the digestion process actually begins in the mouth. The process of chewing is a vital component of the digestive process. The action of chewing mechanically breaks down very large amounts of food molecules into smaller particles. This results in food having increased in surface area‚ an important contributing factor to good digestion. Chewing your food well allows the food to

digestive tracts start with the mouth‚ and although they are formed differently in order to eat the different diets‚ both the mouths are used to grab‚ chew and push the food back to the oesophagus. Both the mouths produce saliva to start the chemical digestion and to aid with the foods transportation down the oesophagus. Most monogastric animals‚ excluding dogs‚ produce the enzyme amylase‚ which is made in the pancreas

Mechanical digestion is the actual physical break down of food into smaller pieces; for example‚ using teeth to grind food into smaller bits for it to go down throats.

Digestion In Small Intestine While digestion continues in the small intestine‚ it also becomes a major site for the process of absorption‚ that is‚ the passage of digested food into the bloodstream‚ and its transport to the rest of the body. - The small intestine is a long‚ narrow tube‚ about 20 ft (6 m) long‚ running from the stomach to the large intestine. - The small intestine occupies the area of the abdomen between the diaphragm and hips‚ and is greatly coiled and twisted. - The small

digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver’s digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Digestion involves mixing food with digestive juices‚ moving it through the digestive tract‚ and breaking down large molecules of food into smaller molecules. Digestion begins in the mouth‚ when you chew and swallow‚ and is completed in the small intestine. The digestive system is important because When you eat foods—such as bread

The first step of digestion is the moment we put the food in mouth. As we chew the food‚ the saliva released by the salivary glands of the mouth starts
