Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The process of digestion is accomplished by mechan- ical and chemical processes.
The buccal cavity performs two major, functions, mastication of food and facilitation of swallowing.
The teeth and the tongue with the help of saliva mas- ticate and mixup the food throughly.
Mucus in saliva helps in lubricating and adhering the masticated food particles into a bolus.
