Özet
Saliva is a mixture of secretions discharged from the salivary glands into the oral cavity without the addition of pharyngeal, tracheal, and bronchial secretions. There are three pairs of major salivary glands including parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, in addition to 700-1000 minor salivary glands in the oral and pharyngeal mucosa.
