Mouth, also called oral cavity or buccal cavity, in human anatomy, orifice through which food and air enter the body. It is divided into two sections: the vestibule, the area between the cheeks and the teeth, and the oral cavity proper.
The buccal cavity may serve as a space to temporarily store the food inside of a person's (or another animal's) mouth as well as a space where this food will be soaked with saliva coming from the parotid gland. This will help begin the process of digestion.
