Answer 1

The part of digestive canal involved in the chewing of food is the buccal cavity or mouth. The intake of food takes place through the mouth. The food that we eat is mixed with the saliva and is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. The tongue mixes the food with saliva while chewing and helps in swallowing food.
