The salivary glands have two kinds of secretory cells - serous and mucous cells.
Serous cells produce a watery fluid that includes the digestive enzyme salivary amylase. This splits starch and glycogen molecules into disaccharides.
Mucous cells secrete a thick liquid called mucouswhich binds food particles and lubricates the food during swallowing.
