  Hook up the Benefits of Digestion for Good Health The Mechanism of Digestion The process of digestion is carried out by our digestive system, which begins from the mouth and ends at the anus. Our digestive system consists of the mouth, salivary glands, food pipe, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Each of the organs of our digestive system is responsible to carry out its specific functions. The mouth is responsible for the process of breaking down the food into fine particles with the help of saliva(produced by salivary glands) and teeth. These food particles travel through the food pipe to reach the stomach, where acid and other digestive enzymes act on it to break down into more fine particles. These fine particles are then moved to our small intestine from where the essential nutrients are absorbed from the food. The pancreas secretes the enzymes that break down the protein, fat and carbohydrates in the food. The liver helps to pr...
