chemical and mechanical digestion

Chemical digestion refers the to the breakdown of food in the mouth, stomach and intestines through the use of acids and enzymes.


 Mechanical digestion processes such as chewing, swallowing and the muscular movements that move food through the digestive support chemical digestion by physically breaking whole foods into smaller pieces to facilitate chemical breakdown.
