Living cells in our body requires fuel to be supplied continuously, in order to these cells can do the job well. That’s why everyone feels the need to eat foods in appropriate amounts and types when hunger appears. At the time of receiving the news that the food needed are in the range, the brain will send commands in order to the digestive system in order to be activated. At this time the saliva will flow to flood the mouth. This will be stimulated saliva flow, although only with the scent of the food that we like.
To understand the function of saliva, try to chewing a piece of white bread while feeling the changes in bread flavor. Eventually the bread will taste sweet, because the digestive substances contained in saliva (amylase) has changed the complex carbohydrates into simple carbohydrates. In addition to outlining the carbohydrates in food, saliva also makes food easy to swallow, and serves to cleanse the mouth by killing tooth decay germs and as mouth wash.
Food is a need to be made into a liquid in order to the taste can be felt. In this case as well as ice cream. Ice cream does not have a taste before the ice melts in the mouth. Once melted, the sugar in ice cream will stimulate the sweet taste buds nipples . Furthermore, the nipple will send news of taste in the form of a weak electric current to the tasting center in the brain. Then, the brain will interpret the electrical current as a sweet taste. Another taste also will stimulate the other taste buds nipples to send a message to the brain through other channels as well.
Saliva is produced by three pairs of glands that on average will spend about two liters of saliva every day. Salivation process is influenced by the type of food and a person’s emotional state. Saliva may be issued thick or thin. Preferred food will stimulate more saliva release. Fear, anger and anxiety will drain the mouth so that in these circumstances the food will taste bland.
Once the process starts chewing, saliva will be stimulated out more. Foods that are abusive will stimulate saliva that comes out only slightly, while the soft and acidic foods will invite a lot of saliva. Spraying saliva into the mouth of the gland may occur with so strong that it hurt. It will feel real when eating acidic foods, such as young mango.
