saliva and hormones
salivary amylase.
Saliva is produced by three pairs of major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual), as well as numerous minor salivary glands located throughout the mouth and throat.
The salivary glands, specifically the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, produce salivary amylase. Salivary amylase is an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates in the mouth, starting the process of digestion. It primarily acts on starches, converting them into simpler sugars like maltose.
Glands are organs which produce enzymes or hormones in the body and examples are thyroid gland in the neck, salivary gland in the mouth, pancreas and adrenal glands the the abdomen

The liver, pancreas, and salivary glands are all part the digestive system, but food doesn't pass through them. All three produce enzymes and chemicals that break up nutrients. The liver produces bile, the salivary glands produce saliva, and the pancreas a mix of enzymes. The liver and pancreas work with other systems as well.
Accessory organs include the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas and .
Amylase is produced in the salivary glands and the pancreas. In the salivary glands, it helps start the digestion of starch in the mouth, while in the pancreas, it is released into the small intestine to further break down starch into sugars for absorption.
The accessory organs of digestion in farm animals include the salivary glands, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. The salivary glands produce saliva to aid in the initial breakdown of food. The liver produces bile, which helps in the digestion and absorption of fats, while the pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid. These organs play crucial roles in facilitating the digestive process and nutrient absorption.
The most obvious excretions are your feces and your urine. But sweat must be included, and perhaps even your salivary glands which produce spit. Your tear ducts are another specialized example.
