Explanation:
This laboratory is concerned only with the gall bladder and the large, extramural glands such as liver, pancreas and the major salivary glands. The intramural glands are considered together with the digestive tract proper.The salivary glands produce saliva, which keeps the mouth and other parts of the digestive system moist. It also helps break down carbohydrates (with salivary amylase, formerly known as ptyalin) and lubricates the passage of food down from the oro-pharynx to the esophagus to the stomach.
