E here is uour answerxplanation:
Mucous saliva is exactly what it sounds like—thick, sticky, and full of mucus. Serous saliva, on the other hand, is nearly all water, and that's what floods into your mouth at the smell, sight, or thought of especially delicious food. Making saliva is your body's way of yelling excitedly about the food in front of you.

The Correct solution is saliva.
- Saliva is a viscous, colourless, opalescent fluid found in the mouths of humans and other vertebrates at all times.
- Water, mucus, proteins, mineral salts, and amylase make up this fluid. Saliva gathers up food detritus, bacterial cells, and white blood cells as it circulates in the mouth cavity.
- The human mouth excretes one to two litres of liquids every day.
- The total amount of saliva is produced by three primary pairs of salivary glands and many smaller glands spread across the surface tissue of the cheeks, lips, tongue, and palate.
- Saliva is constantly secreted into the mouth in small amounts, but the presence of food, or even the mere smell or thought of it, causes saliva flow to rapidly increase.
- Saliva lubricates and moistens the interior of the mouth, which aids speaking and transforms food into a liquid or semisolid mass that is easier to taste and swallow.
- Saliva aids in the regulation of the body's water balance; when water is in short supply, the salivary glands get dehydrated, leaving the mouth dry, causing a thirst sensation and stimulating the need to drink.
- By eliminating food debris, dead cells, germs, and white blood cells from the mouth, saliva helps to prevent tooth decay and infection.
- It also contains trace levels of amylase, a digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates chemically into simpler components.
