Explain the role of the buccal cavity during digestion.
Asked by Topperlearning User | 18 Jul, 2014, 02:59: PM
Expert Answer
The buccal cavity performs mastication of food and facilitates swallowing.
The teeth and tongue mix the food thoroughly with saliva.
The mucus present in the saliva helps in lubricating food, and it also adheres masticated food particles together into a bolus.
The bolus is then swallowed and conveyed into the pharynx.
