Your body has to digest food before your cells can use it. The digestive system is made up of many organs that work together. Chewing is the first step of digestion.
Teeth: Front teeth have a thin
shape to cut food when you bite. Flatter teeth in the back crush food as you chew.
Tongue: The tongue moves
food so it can be chewed and swallowed. Tiny taste buds on the tongue have nerves that send taste signals to your brain.
Salivary glands: These
glands make saliva. Saliva has chemicals that digest food. Saliva also makes food wetter so it is easier to swallow.
