Written on in English with a size of 2.4 KB

Process of Digestion

Mouth: Enzyme amylase breaks the chemical bonds.

Esophagus: Epiglottis prevents food from entering the lungs. Peristalsis helps food pass through smooth muscles.

Stomach: Chemical digestion (pepsin breaks down proteins with acid). Mucus protects the stomach. Mechanical digestion produces chyme. Cardiac sphincter closes the stomach.
