Describe the estimated pH of the salivary secretion
Describe the estimated pH of the salivary secretion? Is it a basic acid or fluid? Describe the main functions of saliva?
Expert
The saliva pH is around 6.8. It is therefore a slightly acid pH. Saliva lubricates the food bolus and starts the enzymatic extracellular digestion of food. It as well works as a buffer for the mouth pH and it has a significant role of containing IgA antibodies (as well present in tears, colostrum, mother’s milk and in the mucosae of the airways and intestine) which protect the organism against pathogens.
Why is pH regulation significant for living beings? How do mineral salts contribute in this regulation?
