Defination of buccal cavity
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 8 months ago

The process of digestion begins in the mouth where food is mixed with saliva and chewed. It is broken down into small chunks before being swallowed. The mouth is also known as the buccal cavity or the oral cavity. The mouth has many accessory organs such as the tongue, teeth, and salivary glands, which help in the digestion of food. Teeth grind the food into small pieces. Salivary glands secrete saliva which contains an enzyme called the salivary amylase. This enzyme breaks down starch content and moistens the food, before the tongue and other muscles push the food into the pharynx.
