Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The parotid gland contributes a variety of secretory proteins-including amylase, proline-rich proteins, and parotid secretory protein (PSP)-to these functions. The regulated secretion of salivary proteins ensures the availability of the correct mix of salivary proteins when needed.
Detailed explanation-2: -The parotid glands produce serous saliva: a watery secretion that is rich in enzymes. The secretion from the sub-lingual glands is known as mucous saliva; a viscous secretion containing no enzymes and large amounts of mucus.
