This is the form of digestion that occurs from actual chewing and breaking down of food. This happens in the mouth from your teeth not in your stomach.
Mechanical is the first stage of digestion involving what occurs in the mouth (chewing), the swallowing process, and in the stomach. It is the part that causes food to get into smaller pieces prior to chemical breakdown.
Mechanical Digestion is when the mouth and teeth come together and break down food that enters the body. And then leads to the stomach. The waste is then removed by the Chemical Digestion.
