mouth, stomach and small intestine in
human body.
Answers
Explanation:
The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. In fact, digestion starts here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use.
Answer:
The ingestion of food starts in small intestine with the help of enzyme salivary amylase and from here the food goes to stomach where 3 enzymes act on it.
The enzymes are Hcl, mucus and pepsin.
Hcl provides acidic medium as pepsin enzyme acts on acidic medium only.
Mucus prevents the stomach from the effect of hcl and pepsin digests protein.
From here the partially digested food goes to the small intestine which receives 3 secretions.
Bile juice from lives emulsifies fats.
Pancreatic juice contains 3 enzymes.
