Digestion is a process that begins in the mouth, where teeth break down food into smaller pieces for swallowing. The food then travels through a long tube, embarking on a journey through the body. The first major stop is the stomach, where liquids further break down the food. This process continues as the stomach squeezes the food, preparing it for the next stages of digestion. The video explains how digestion starts in the mouth and continues in the stomach, highlighting the key stages of this essential bodily function.
