Answer:-
★A salivary gland is a tissue in our mouths that expels saliva. You can feel your salivary glands activate when you eat something really sweet. As exocrine glands, they expel saliva into our mouths by way of ducts. Each day, our glands produce as much as a quart of saliva.
★Saliva is a mixture of water, mucus, antibacterial substances, and digestive enzymes. One of the most recognizable digestive enzymes in human saliva is amylase. This enzyme is able to break down the starch in our food to simpler and more easily digestible sugars like glucose and maltose. Whenever we chew, we are activating salivary glands in preparation for the breakdown of our meal
