★ EXPLANATION →

• The Digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily.

• Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin.

• Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.
