Question

Name the three structures of the mouth that aid in digestion.

Answer 1

Tongue, epiglottis and sublingual/parotid or submaxillary glands (Salivary glands). Hope this is what you were looking for :)

Answer 2

Answer: Tongue, teeth and salivary gland.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tongue in the mouth helps in pushing the food towards teeth and also helps in crushing the food to form bolus.

The teeth present in the mouth helps in breaking the big food particles to the smaller food particles. The chewing and crushing of food helps in digestion as it breaks the food in smaller size.

The salivary gland releases enzymes that helps in the digestion of carbohydrates present in the food.
