Salivary glands secrets saliva in our mouth
The salivary glands are located in the mouth and secrete saliva into the oral cavity. There are three pairs of major salivary glands: the parotid glands, submandibular glands, and sublingual glands.
The secretion is saliva.

The secretion from the salivary glands is called saliva. It helps in the initial breakdown of food, aids in swallowing, and contains enzymes that start the digestion process.
Saliva, a secretion from the salivary glands in the mouth.
Saliva is secreted by the salivary glands. Like all secretion, that is a cellular process. Cells within the salivary glands have the necessary biochemical mechanism to do this.
Enzymes are secreted by cells in various parts of the body, such as the pancreas, salivary glands, and stomach. The specific location of enzyme secretion depends on the type of enzyme and its function in the body.
The secretion form the salivary gland is called saliva.
A salivary gland scan is a nuclear medicine test that examines the uptake and secretion in the salivary glands of a radioactively labeled marker substance. The pattern of uptake and secretion shows if these glands are functioning normally.
The parotid gland produces a serous secretion containing large amounts of salivary amylase, an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates in the mouth during digestion.
