Mastication is the process whereby food is broken down by mechanical digestion in the [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]]. The [[Cheeks|cheeks]] and [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] function to position food over the [[:Category:Teeth - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]], where grinding can occur. Mastication requires correct muscle movements and jaw articulation.

'''[[Rumination - Anatomy & Physiology|Rumination]]''' allows food to undergo mastication more than once. This is also called 'chewing the cud', it allows greater nutrients to be extracted and absorbed from the food particles.
