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.

✎ A digestive enzyme in saliva called amylase (AH-meh-lace) starts to break down some of the carbohydrates (starches and sugars) in the food even before it leaves the mouth. Swallowing, done by muscle movements in the tongue and mouth, moves the food into the throat, or pharynx (FAIR-inks).
