In the mouth, mechanical digestion (chewing) and some chemical digestion (e.g., enzymes in saliva) start breaking down food. In the stomach, gastric juices (e.g., hydrochloric acid and enzymes) further break down food. In the small intestine, enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver (stored in the gallbladder) help in the final breakdown of food into small particles that can be absorbed.
