Spit, or saliva, serves several important functions in the body. It helps in the initial digestion of food by breaking down carbohydrates with enzymes, facilitates swallowing by moistening food, and acts as a lubricant for the oral cavity. Additionally, saliva contains antimicrobial properties that help protect the mouth and teeth from pathogens, and it plays a role in taste perception by dissolving food particles.
