Saliva A+
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva from three pairs of salivary glands. Saliva contains the digestive enzyme salivary amylase.
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.
you have three different pairs of glands not parts
you have three pairs of salivary glands, six in total (on both sides).
Cats, unlike dogs, only have three major salivary glands. They are the parotid, sublingual and submandibular glands. Dogs have four pairs of major salivary glands and people have three.
There are three major pairs of salivary glands: the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. There are also many tiny glands in your lips, the inside of your cheeks, and the lining of your throat and mouth.
There are 3 pairs of major salivary glands: - Parotid, the largest, is at the back of the jaw by the ear - Sublingual, under the tongue - Submandibular (also called submaxillary) in the lower jaw. There are also many minor salivary glands. These are tiny glands in the lips and in the linings of the mouth and throat. Salivary glands produce saliva which keeps the mouth moist and starts the digestion of food. It also protects against tooth decay.
Ptyalin is produced in and secreted by the salivary glands, of which humans have three. The parotid, submandibular (submaxillary) and sublingual salivary glands.
Three pairs of glands in the mouth and cheeks, known as salivary glands, produce saliva. One pair of the glands, the parotid, is located in front of the ears. Another pair the submandibular, is located under the lower jaw. The third pair of glands is located under the tongue and is known as the sublingual. There are several other small glands in the mucous membrane of the mouth that aid in producing saliva.
There are three types of salivary glands: 1. parotid = largest; lies over masseter muscle 2. submandibular = floor of mouth; lateral 3. sublingual = floor of mouth, medial.
* The mouth produces salivary amylase: breaks down carbohydrate (starch) * The stomach produces pepsin and trypsin, which are two types of proteases: break down proteins * The pancreas and small intestine also make protease and lipase: digests fats into fatty acids and gycerol.
