Digestion is a complex physiological process that plays a crucial role in breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized by the body. It begins in the mouth, where mechanical and chemical digestion initiate the breakdown of food particles. Chewing, facilitated by teeth, helps reduce food into smaller pieces, while enzymes in saliva, such as amylase, start breaking down carbohydrates. The partially digested food, now called bolus, travels down the esophagus to reach the stomach. In the stomach, gastric juices containing enzymes and hydrochloric acid further break down proteins and mix with the food, forming a semi-liquid substance known as chyme.
