saliva
Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
Salivary gland releases an enzyme called ptylin
There are about 600 to 1,000 minor salivary glands.
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.
Intrinsic salivary glands, located throughout the mouth, keep the mouth moist, while Extrinsic salivary glands secrete serous, enzyme-rich saliva in response to ingested food and the thought of food.
The secretion form the salivary gland is called saliva.

The secretion is saliva.
