The 3 functions of saliva are:
1) Lubrication: Saliva helps in the lubrication of food, making it easier to swallow and pass through the digestive tract.
2) Digestion: Saliva contains enzymes that aid in the initial stages of digestion by breaking down carbohydrates and fats.
3) Protection: Saliva helps to maintain the pH balance in the mouth and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, which can cause tooth decay and gum disease.
