Detailed explanation-1: -Sympathetic stimulation results in the release of noradrenaline, which acts upon alpha-and beta-adrenergic receptors. This results in the following effects: Decreased production of saliva by acinar cells. Increased protein secretion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most salivary glands also receive a variable innervation from sympathetic nerves which released noradrenaline from which tends to evoke greater release of stored proteins, mostly from acinar cells but also ductal cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -A dry mouth can occur when the salivary glands in your mouth don’t produce enough saliva. This is often the result of dehydration, which means you don’t have enough fluid in your body to produce the saliva you need. It’s also common for your mouth to become dry if you’re feeling anxious or nervous.
