You're welcome
Yes,
The very first process will be chewing and grinding- the teeth will break the larger food molecules to smaller, digestible ones
The food is then mixed with the saliva, which lubricates it enzymes present in the saliva starts the chemical digestion
The tongue is there to mix and churn the food so that it takes the shape of a bolus..this bolus of food is then pushed back by the tongue into the oesophagus..this process is called swallowing
So we have 1)chewing/churning/grinding(mechanical digestion),2) salivation, 3)chemical digestion, 4) swallowing
Also, I would like to know what speech is...never heard of this term

How would that happen? Duh:cautious:
dialysis machine is nothing but some partially permeable membrane in some fluid, so the blood that circulates in dialysis machine is the persons blood, and even if we were to say that the fluid inside the dialysis machine contains HIV,then even then the patient is safe, since the partially permeable membrane in its essence doesn't allow proteins which are way smaller than HIV virus ,so how is it gonna allow HIV in first place,;)

However, I would advise on revising this month, as school is approaching and so is CIE exams

Regards

I didn't say dat the dialysis fluid contains HIV ..... if someone who is HIV positive has got his blood cleaned in a dialysis machine .... after him, another person came 4 the treatment ....
