When we see very tempting food, our mouth starts watering and saliva starts secreting.
Explanation:
- Every action of our body is governed by our brain, and it controls our muscle reaction.
- When very tempting food comes in front of us, our brain sees that through eyes, and prepare the body for impending food intake.
- For this, the saliva starts secreting from the salivary glands and our mouth waters.
- Saliva is a critical part needed for the complete functioning of the body as it makes it possible to swallow, to digest and to protect the teeth from bacteria.

This is due to Reflex Action.
Explanation:
- The sight of food sends sensory messages from the eyes via the optic nerve to the brain or the spinal cord.
- The brain or spinal cord sends action impulses through the motor nerve to the salivary glands, to secrete saliva.
- The saliva prepares the mouth for receiving the food and initiate its breakdown.
