3. ORAL CAVITY
• The oral cavity is the first part of the digestive tract. It
contains the mouth, teeth, gums, the bony roof (hard/ soft

of digestion.
• FUNCTION
The oral cavity represents the first part of the digestive tube. Its
primary function is to serve as the entrance of the alimentary
tract and to initiate the digestive process by salivation and
propulsion of the alimentary bolus into the pharynx.

Cavities are created by bacteria in your mouth that feast
