The answer is;

Chemical-triggers release of pancreatic enzyme; Physical-triggers stomach muscle contraction

The neurotransmitter triggers the contraction of the stomach and other digestive organs hence enabling the physical digestion of food. The acetylcholine acts on the pancreases to release pancreatic juices hence enables chemical digestion of food
