The salivary glands secrete water, mucus and salivary amylase.
It's the gland that creates Saliva. This is in order so you can taste food, etc. Try drying your tongue and tasting some crisps, or something similar. I assure you it will taste like cardboard!
Hope this helps!

Salivary Glands secrete saliva.
They have digestive functions: plus their product binds food together,and begins digestion of carbohydrates.
They also produce a mild antibiotic.
They make the enzyme salivary amylase which breaks polysaccharides into disaccharides and starch into disaccharides.
Slavia has amalase and breaks down the foods and simple surgar and aids indigestion
Salivary glands are in the mouth below the toungue and back of the mouth. When food is in your mouth they release an enzyme called amalayse, which starts the break up of foods.
They create saliva (a watery substance)
the salivary glands produce saliva which is a liquid that breaks down food and moistens the esophagus, mouth, and stomach.

Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
There are about 600 to 1,000 minor salivary glands.
Intrinsic salivary glands, located throughout the mouth, keep the mouth moist, while Extrinsic salivary glands secrete serous, enzyme-rich saliva in response to ingested food and the thought of food.
Merocrine glands
All salivary glands are structurally compound exocrine glands, example is sweat glands.

No. Salivary glands are close to the Pharynx.
Humans have paired salivary glands.
There are three big pairs of salivary glands in addition to many smaller ones. The parotid glands, submandibular glands and sublingual glands are the large, paired salivary glands.
The salivary glands secretes enzymes, thus i would say that reminds me of the lythusmes
