Summary Introduction

To review:

The parts of the alimentary canal where chemical digestion takes place.

Introduction:

The food components that enter the alimentary canal get broken down by two types of processes, which are mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. The mechanical digestion occurs by the breakdown of food components into smaller components by mechanical means. The chemical digestion is done by the breaking down of the molecular weight of food.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Along the alimentary canal, where are places chemical digestion occurs and long the alimentary canal, where are places physical digestion occurs?
Where in the alimentary canal does chemical digestion begin for each of the three types of food: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats?
Along the alimentary canal where are the places absorption occurs?
