Digestive System 💩 Parts of the system and the enzymes 1.Parts of e Digestive System
Physical Digestion helps to break down food into smaller pieces by physical ormechanical means, which occurs in:- The churning action of the stomach- The chewing in the mouth Chemical digestionby enzymes hydrolyses the food molecules into smaller,soluble molecules so that they can be absorbed into the bloodstream.It begins in the mouth by the salivary glands,then in the stomach, andlastly, at the small intestines.
