Question

State the role of teeth in the human digestive system.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Teeth are bones covered with a layer of enamel, which are situated in the buccal cavity. They also play a very vital role in the digestive system.
• The teeth help in ingesting the food into the body and are also responsible for the physical breakdown of food in the buccal cavity.
• An adult human has a set of 32 teeth in his jaw which are classified into four groups on the basis of their functions( but that a later day :))

Explanation:

Answer 2

The digestive system starts at your mouth. When you put food in your mouth, your teeth break the food into smaller pieces, and the salivary glands under your tongue and on the sides and roof of your mouth release saliva. This saliva mixes with your food to make it easier to swallow.
