Acinar cells secrete a isotonic mixture of saliva which then gets modified through the ductal cells to produce a hypotonic saliva compared to plasma with a high K+ and HCO3- concentration. HOWEVER, at high flow rates the saliva actually resembles plasma (isotonic) because there wasn't enough to modify the saliva.

Is urine always hyper tonic to the blood plasma?
It depends. If the body is dehydrated, it will produce highly concentrated (hypertonic) urine in order to conserve water from the blood stream. If your blood is hypotonic (contains excess water), then the kidneys will release hypotonic urine, to reduce the amount of water in the blood. Therefore, if you are dehydrated, the urine is considered hypertonic to the blood. If not, the urine is hypotonic to the blood.
