Pancreas is a fish shaped organ that makes pancreatic juice that is made up of digestive enzymes and bicarbonate to neutralize acid in the intestine
What is the difference between mechanical and chemical digestion? Mechanical breaks food into smaller pieces, chewing. Chemical attacks food with enzymes to break it apart it nutrients and help the body absorb it.
Explain how mechanical AND chemical digestion takes place in the mouth? Food enters the body through the mouth, chewing occurs, and saliva starts to break it down and help lubricate it to be swallowed.
