The function of the salivary glands is to make saliva and help the bolus (soft mass of chewed food) go down the esophagus easily. Saliva contains enzymes which help break down food to a form which the body can use.
It is to secrete saliva to help digestion...
the salivary glands produce saliva
to produce saliva. it contains water, mineral ions, amylase etc.
Saliva is the primary reaction to the break down of food. It contains enzymes, as stated above, that start the process of breakdown when you start to eat your food. It also aids in the swallowing of the chewed food product. Try swallowing a pill without water and a dry throat, it hurts and will have a really hard time going down.
The name of that salivary gland is parotid gland. That is the biggest of all the salivary glands.
The parotid gland is one of the salivary glands in humans. In fact, it is the largest salivary gland. It releases saliva into the mouth to begin the processes of digestion and swallowing.
The salivary glands consist of three pairs of major glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) as well as numerous minor glands. They produce saliva, which is essential for moistening the mouth, initiating digestion, and protecting teeth from decay.
The submandibular gland is located under the chin, beneath the lower jaw bone. This gland is one of the major salivary glands in the body responsible for producing saliva to aid in digestion.
The sublingual glands are the salivary glands located under the tongue with ducts that open in the floor of the mouth. They produce saliva that helps with digestion by moistening food and aiding in swallowing.
to produce saliva which helps to break down food when chewing
It's the sublingual salivary gland.
The salivary glands in cockroaches breaks up some of the fod in the cockroach's mouth using amylase. :)
The largest salivary gland is parotid
The duct of the salivary gland, the facial nerve, and the lingual nerve pass through the salivary gland.
A salivary gland scan is done to help diagnose the cause of dry mouth. It is a test that is done when Sjogren's syndrome, salivary duct obstruction, asymmetric hypertrophy, or growths such as Warthin's tumors are suspected.
The salivary glands secretes enzymes, thus i would say that reminds me of the lythusmes
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.
A salivary gland scan, also called a parotid gland scan
The salivary gland.
The name of that salivary gland is parotid gland. That is the biggest of all the salivary glands.
