Spelling of munching machine is written wrong ,so please correct yourself who asked this question.

INTRODUCTION:

The  Mouth is otherwise called as oral cavity or buccal cavity.It is formed by cheeks,lips and palate.It encloses the teeth , tongue and salivary glands.

We say mouth as the munching machine because of the following reasons

1.The primary function of the mouth is eating or mastication.

2.Ingestion of food materials

3.Chewing and mixing the food with saliva

4.Appreciation of the taste

5.Transfer of food (BOLUS) to the oesophagus by swallowing

6.The muscles of the mouth enable the food to be pushed in the oral cavity and to be moved around.

The mouth is indeed the munching machine. The teeth help in tearing, biting and chewing activity. The saliva, which initiates the enzymatic activity in the human body, softens up the food, which is thereafter pushed into the oesophagus as a bolus by a swallowing process for further enzymatic activity of digestion, assimilation, absorption and ejection as waste excreta down the digestive tract.
