Question

What do you mean by salivary glands write down the types and role of this gland in the digestion of food?

Answer 1

The salivary glands produce saliva, which keeps the mouth and other parts of thedigestive system moist. It also helps break down carbohydrates (with salivaryamylase, formerly known as ptyalin) and lubricates the passage of food down from the oro-pharynx to the esophagus to the stomach.
