唾液腺凭借其分泌唾液的能力，在我们的身体中扮演着重要的角色。唾液在维持口腔健康和执行咀嚼、味觉、言语等生理功能方面发挥着作用。由于它能够作为诊断液体来检测一些状况和疾病，它还可以反映一个人的全身状况。唾液是一种潜在的非侵入性诊断液体，可用于检测许多疾病和健康的生物标志物。诊断方法的进步有助于确定唾液中疾病的生物标记物。为了了解和诊断病理变化，有必要对唾液腺的解剖、生理及其分泌的调节有一个透彻的了解。本章旨在提供对唾液分泌物的基本了解。
The salivary glands play an important role in our body by the virtue of its ability to secrete saliva. Saliva has a role to play in maintaining the health of the oral cavity and for carrying out physiological functions like mastication, taste perception, speech etc. It also acts as a mirror to the systemic status of an individual owing to its ability to act as a diagnostic fluid for detecting a number of conditions and diseases. Saliva is a potential noninvasive diagnostic fluid for detection of a number of biomarkers of disease and health. Advancement in diagnostic methods has helped in identifying biomarkers of disease in saliva. In order to understand and diagnose pathological changes, a thorough understanding of the salivary gland anatomy, physiology and regulation of its secretion is warranted. This chapter aims to provide the basic understanding of the secretions of saliva.
