    teeth and within the stomach and the intestine this is by the churning action of the muscular walls. Chemical digestion is by a series of specific enzymes in which are produced within numerous regions of the alimentary canal. The salivary glands produce an enzyme called amylase which breaks down polysaccharides into simpler sugars. These enzymes then hydrolyse the chemicals within the larger food molecules by breaking them down into very tiny constituent molecules. In the mouth the larger particles

    DIGESTION OF CARBOHYDRATES Digestion of carbohydrate begins in the mouth‚ with the secretion of the enzyme salivary amylase from the serous cells of the salivary gland. This enzyme breaks starch and glycogen into disaccharides. The mucous cells of the salivary gland secrete a mucus‚ which causes the food to stick together‚ and acts as a lubricant to aid in swallowing. The salivary glands are grouped into three categories: the parotid gland‚ submandibular glands‚ and sublingual‚ all located

    Mechanical digestions starts from the intake of food into the mouth and when the food is chewed and while the food is broken down until it becomes small to be swallowed. Then the food goes down as a food bolus into the esophagus after the food is broken down. The food bolus passes through the alimentary canal through peristaltic movements. Peristaltic movements is a systematic series of muscle contractions and relaxation which involves the passage of food bolus through the esophagus‚ stomach‚ small
