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.
IF ANY OF THE MT PPL ARE LOOKING AT THIS.. THIS IS SOMEONE FROM XVAC..:)
What else can I help you with?
Saliva pre-digestion through ezymes in saliva is chemical change?
The first chemical change that happens in the body in regards to digestion, the breakdown of foodstuffs, occurs in the stomach. The saliva breakdown would be a physical change.
Saliva contains enzymes that start the process of digestion What pH would you expect saliva to be Why?
The normal pH range for Saliva is 5.6 to 7.9. This is the pH balance present in the body which is close to neural.
Can human saliva affect dog saliva?
Not unless you make out with a dog. But other than that, why would you mix the two?
Digestion does not begain until food enters the stomach?
That would be incorrect. Digestion begins in the mouth, when the saliva starts to break up carbohydrates and the teeth start grinding up the food. However, protein digestion does begin in the stomach.
What would happen to the mechanical and chemical digestion if you lost a large part of the stomach and what would happen to that person?
If a large part of the stomach is lost, it can affect both mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion may be impaired due to a decrease in stomach capacity, impacting the mixing and breakdown of food. Chemical digestion can also be affected, as there may be a reduction in the secretion of digestive enzymes and acids, leading to incomplete digestion of nutrients. This can result in malabsorption issues, potential nutrient deficiencies, and digestive discomfort for the individual. In severe cases, it may require medical intervention to manage symptoms and support digestion.
What gland secretes saliva?
Sour candy will stimulate saliva as well as palpation to the ducts.
Changes in blood osmotic pressure would most affect the secretion of?
Changes in blood osmotic pressure would most affect the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) by the pituitary gland. ADH helps regulate the concentration of urine by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys, and its secretion is influenced by blood osmotic pressure to maintain water balance in the body.
Would chemical digestion begin earlier on a potato or butter?
potato amalayze- an enzyme that is in saliva to break down starch into sugar- would break down the potato in your mouth!
Is saliva hypotonic to blood plasma?
Blood or Blood Plasma would be Isotonic to cell plasma.
What are carbohydrates eaten in?
The digestion of carbohydrates starts in your mouth when you chew and mix the food with your saliva. So I would say that the place where carbohydrates are eaten in is your mouth, or your digestive system.
What would happen if your salivary glands did not secrete saliva?
If your salivary glands did not secrete saliva, you would experience dry mouth, difficulty swallowing and speaking, increased risk of dental problems, and may struggle with digesting food properly due to inadequate lubrication. Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health and aiding in the digestion process.
Where would you find your saliva?
You will find saliva in your mouth as you have saliva glads there.
