Option 1 : Mouth

  • The process of digestion in humans starts from the mouth.
  • The saliva secreted by the salivary glands contains the enzyme ptyalin, which acts upon some polysaccharides and breakdown into disaccharides like maltose.
  • The food then transfers from the esophagus to the stomach where it gets digested.
  • The small intestine absorbs all the nutrients from what we eat and drink.
  • The large intestine absorbs water from the wastes and creates stool.
