Question

do digestive system helps to make the food particles slippery?​

Answer 1

Chewing breaks down food particles and mixes them with saliva. Saliva contains the starch-digesting enzyme amylase and a slippery protein called mucin that helps to lubricate the food particles for easier swallowing. ... The lining of the stomach produces gastric juices that contain protein-digesting enzymes.Jul 1, 2011
