Salivary glands secrete saliva in the mouth which helps in the digestion of food. Saliva is 98% of water but contains electrolytes, antibacterial compounds, mucus, enzymes etc. It is an exocrine gland which secretes substances outside the body or within a body cavity. Saliva has lubricating properties. It protect the inside cavity of our mouth, teeth and throats as we begin to swallow the food bolus. It also cleanses the mouth after the meal and dissolves it into chemicals that we perceive as taste.
