Answer:
The mouth, or oral cavity, is the first part of the digestive tract. It is adapted to receive food by ingestion, break it into small particles by mastication, and mix it with saliva. The lips, cheeks, and palate form the boundaries.
your pharynx is the part of the digestive tract that gets the food from your mouth. Branching off the pharynx is the esophagus, which carries food to your stomach, and your trachea or windpipe, which carries air to your lungs.
