Mouth. 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
the process of digestion is started in mouth.teeth present in mouth break down the complex food particles and saliva is secreted by tongue which makes the food soft and soluble.
now the food goes to stomach through oesophagus by peristaltic movement. food churned in stomach for 3 hours. various types of gastric juice is secreated in stomach which helps in digestion.
HCl is secreated in stomach which kill the germs and make the food food acidic so that pepsin can act on it. pepsin break down the proteins.
now the food goes to small intestime where different type of enzymes secreated which helps in breakdown the food. In the pathway they get the secretion of pancreatic juice ,pancreas bile juice and bile salt. bile salt break down large globules of fat in small globules
now in the small intestine various enzymes is secreated such as trypsin, amylase and lipase these juices breakdown the food and helps in digestion..
trypsin breakdown large globules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol
amylase break down starch into sugar
so by all these processes digestion is done
