Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?
absorbing nutrients |
|
breaking down proteins |
|
breaking down starches |
|
breaking down fats |
Digestion begins in the mouth where the teeth and tongue break down food mechanically through chewing and saliva, via the enzyme salivary amylase, starts to break starches down chemically. From the mouth, food travels down the esophagus where contractions push the food into the stomach.
During digestion, after proteins are broken down where does the undigested food go next?
stomach |
|
small intestine |
|
esophagus |
|
large intestine |
