The process of digestion begins in the:

  1. Large intestine

  2. Small intestine

  3. Stomach

  4. Anal cavity

The correct answer is: Stomach

The process of digestion begins in the stomach, where food is churned and mixed with acid and enzymes to break it down into smaller particles. The large intestine, small intestine, and anal cavity are not the first sites of digestion because they do not produce these digestive juices. The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes, the small intestine mainly absorbs nutrients, and the anal cavity is the end of the digestive tract where waste is eliminated.
