How would non secretion of saliva affect the digestion of food?
The non secretion of saliva would affect the digestion of food because the salivary glands secrete more than just saliva.. they secrete enzymes like salivary amylase which breaks down starch into sugar.. and the saliva also holds he food together and makes it easier for the food to move down the food pipe.
