Saliva is made by 3 pairs of salivary glands - the parotid gland sited in front and just below each ear and secretes amylase, the submandibulars on the inner sides of the lower jaw bone, and the sublinguals in the floor of the mouth below the tongue. There are also many smaller accessory glands which are found in the mucous membranes lining the mouth and tongue.
Many small rounded glandular structures known as 'acini',seperated by connective tissue discharge their saliva into tiny central ducts. Acinar ducts converge into the main saliva carrying glandular ducts.
Saliva is made up of mostly water (99.5%) but also contains important solutes such as amylase, a digestive enzyme which starts the breakdown of starches and salts. It lubricates food to make chewing and swallowing easier and keeps the mouth moist.
