Components in saliva that help protect us from microorganisms:
1. IgA antibodies;
2. Lysozyme (a bacteriostatic enzyme that inhibits bacterial growth in the mouth);
3. A cyanide compound;
4. Defensins
The major and minor salivary glands produce saliva. Saliva has many functions, including lubrication of food, digestion, protection against microorganisms, etc.
Some microorganisms make us sick, but others keep us healthy.
Lysozyme is the enzyme in saliva that helps kill bacteria by breaking down their cell walls. It is a natural defense mechanism to protect the mouth from harmful microorganisms.
