Chapter 3: From Tasting to Digesting

Answer: When we are down with a cold, our nose gets blocked, and we cannot sense the sense of smell or taste. Hence, we cannot taste food properly.

Answer: We know that salivary glands exist in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive enzymes; these enzymes help in breaking complex sugars into simple sugars. Hence, we can say that digestion begins in the mouth.
