What substances are secreted by the oral cavity of humans that aid in digestion?
Salivary amylase aids in digestion of polysaccharides. Remember that digestion actually begins with chewing (mastication), which can be distinguished as mechanical and not chemical digestion. The salivary glands of the oral cavity secrete saliva (hence the name). 98% is water and 2% is electrolytes, mucus, glycoproteins, enzymes, and other compounds such as the antibody IgA (immunoglobin A). Mucus, lysozyme, and IgA aid in immune response.
What type of glands are salivary glands?
Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
Do saliva have cells?
If you're meaning saliva, as in the substance produced in your mouth, then no. A sperm cell is the male reproductive cell, or the male gamete, which conjoins with the female ovum to form a zygote and eventually a fetus, baby etc. They contain 23 chromosomes, including an X or Y to determine the sex, which will conjoin with the ovum's 23 chromosomes to determine the characteristics of the child. Sperm cells are only produced within the male testes and are therefore not present in saliva.

How are the UCR and CR related?
The Unconditioned Response (UCR) and Conditioned Response (CR) are both types of responses in classical conditioning. The UCR is an involuntary response to a stimulus, while the CR is a learned response that occurs as a result of association with a conditioned stimulus. Essentially, the CR is a modified version of the UCR that occurs in response to a different stimulus.

Conclusion of the experiment of pavlov's dog?
Ivan Pavlov was investigating what caused saliva to flow by externalizing the salivary gland in a dog and attaching it to a test tube so he could collect and measure the saliva produced. He noticed the dog became familiar with the experimental routine salivating before eating. He then investigated the "psychic secretion" by not allowing the dogs to see what was going on before meat was passed through a hatch and introducing a ticking metronome as a stimulus. The dogs connected the ticking noise to the arrival of meat and soon the sound alone made the dog drool. He called this new response the conditioned response. By Marissa KShow dog food. Dog salivates. Ring bell. Repeat many times, and eventually the dog will salivate from the sound of the bell, with no food present.
