    by the action of  mastication‚ a form of mechanical digestion where the teeth allow the chewing of food to aid in the digestive process and the wetting contact of saliva  ("Wikipedia.com"‚ 2013). Saliva‚ a liquid secreted by the salivary glands‚ contains salivary amylase‚ an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch in the food. After undergoing mastication and starch digestion‚ the food will be in the form of a small‚ round slurry mass called a bolus. It will then travel down the esophagus‚ the
