Try to give you more information about fluid or enzyme that we can find at our digestive organs. Maybe it is not much, but i hope that this article can help you to understand better about human digestive system.
Oral Cavity Secretions
- Serous (watery) saliva: moistens food and mucous membrane; lysozyme kills bacteria
- Salivary amylase: starch digestion (conversion to maltose and isomaltose)
- Mucus: lubricates food; protects gastrointestinal tract from digestion by enzymes
- Lingual lipase: digests a small amount (<10%) of lipids
