saliva and taste
Saliva is the clear and watery substance in our mouths that plays multiple roles such as moistening food, aiding in chewing and swallowing, and protecting against dental cavities. Taste refers to the sensation perceived by our taste buds, which are specialized sensory receptors on our tongues. Saliva helps carry dissolved molecules from food to the taste buds, facilitating the process of tasting different flavors.
