How does the mouth achieve initial digestion of polysaccharides?     due to the enzymatic action of the pancreatic juices produced in the mouth     through the HCl acid produced by the chief cells at the outermost oral epithelia     by means of the salivary amylase which is produced by the salivary glands     as a result of the chewing (mechanical digestion) of the oral muscles and the teeth
