Parts of salivary glands |
| Answer» \tThe salivary glands produce saliva, which keeps the mouth and other parts of the digestive system moist.\tIt also helps break down carbohydrates (with salivary amylase, formerly known as ptyalin) and lubricates the passage of food down from the oro-pharynx to the esophagus to the stomach.\tThere are three main pairs of salivary glands: the parotid, the submandibular and the sublingual glands. | |
