Detailed explanation-1: -Mouth. The digestive process starts in your mouth when you chew. Your salivary glands make saliva, a digestive juice, which moistens food so it moves more easily through your esophagus into your stomach. Saliva also has an enzyme that begins to break down starches in your food.
Detailed explanation-2: -Within the mouth, the teeth and tongue begin mechanical digestion. Other accessory organs add secretions (enzymes) that catabolize food into nutrients.
Detailed explanation-3: -These structures make up the mouth and play a key role in the first step of digestion: ingestion. This is where the teeth and tongue work with salivary glands to break down food into small masses that can be swallowed, preparing them for the journey through the alimentary canal.
