Answer:
saliva contains mucus, ptyalin(salivary amylase)
mucous helps in lubricating the buccal cavity and the pharynx and also helps in the formation of bolus.
Ptyalin (amylase) breaks down the polysaccharides into disaccharides, thereby helping in partial breakdown of carbs.
It also contains electrolytes and lysozomes which provide nutrients and immunity.
