Question

Where does mechanical digestion occur and chemical digestion occur in the body
​

Answer 1

Mouth

Step-by-step explanation:

Both mechanical and chemical digestion occur in the mouth. Teeth grind and break up food (mechanical), while an enzyme in saliva called amylase begins to break down carbohydrates (chemical). After it is swallowed, the chewed food (now called a bolus) moves down the esophagus.
