What happens to the food inside your mouth during this process?

Correct Answer

Inside the mouth, food gets chewed by teeth into smaller pieces. The tongue mixes the food with saliva which helps soften it. We can feel the texture, flavour, and taste of the food using our tongue, nose, and other senses. The food becomes softer and easier to swallow after proper chewing.
