Answer:
The four ways in which saliva is useful to us are:
Chemical digestion: breaks down starch by the function of “salivary amylase”
Helps chewing and swallowing
Lubricating effect: moisturizes the inside of the mouth and creates smoother speech
Solvent effect: dissolves food and allows the tongue to taste food
Cleaning effect: washes away food debris and bacteria remaining in the mouth
Antibacterial effect: Lysozyme, peroxidase and lactoferrin fight against pathogenic microorganisms
pH buffering effect: Prevents sudden changes in pH
Supplies minerals, including calcium and phosphorus, to teeth
