Explain the Control of Salivary Secretion
The autonomic control of saliva secretion occurs in two ways, as unconditioned and conditioned reflex. What are these? Let's find out.
Unconditioned reflex: This response occurs due to the presence of an object in the mouth.
Conditioned reflex: This response occurs due to some previous experience. Sight, smell and even the thought of appetizing food results in salivation.
