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

Answer:

• HCl is one of the gastric juices secreted by stomach.
• HCl converts the inactive enzyme pepsinogen into its active form pepsin.
