Abstract
Salivary glands are generally supposed to produce their secretions in 2 stages: 1. A plasma-like secretion is formed in the acinar-intercalated duct region of the gland, the rate of production but not the electrolyte composition of this fluid being increased by gland stimulation. 2. This primary saliva is then modified during its passage along the gland duct system by processes of Na reabsorption and K and HCO3 secretion.
