Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These are largest of the salivary glands, secreting saliva to facilitate mastication and swallowing, and amylase to begin the digestion of starches.
Detailed explanation-2: -Salivary amylase is a glucose-polymer cleavage enzyme that is produced by the salivary glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Saliva gland acinar cells are chloride and sodium secreting, and the isotonic fluid produced is rendered hypotonic by salivary gland duct cells as it flows to the mouth. The major proteins present in saliva are secreted by salivary glands, creating viscoelasticity and enabling the coating of oral surfaces with saliva.
