Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mechanical digestion involves the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces. This process is facilitated by muscle activity, including the churning action in the stomach, which is regulated by the nervous system. This helps to reduce food into smaller particles that can be more easily digested chemically later in the digestive process. Choices B, C, and D describe other aspects of digestion that are not related to the mechanical breakdown of food.
