Salivation or the secretion of the saliva through the salivary glands present in the mouth are controlled by the nervous system.
The primary nervous system involved in the salivation is the parasympathetic system of neurons. The parasympathetic system is involved in the rest and digest response of the body.
The parasympathetic system act by releasing acetylcholine in the acinar cells of the salivary glands. The acetylcholine binds to the receptors and causes a release of calcium. The calcium in the cell fuse with the membrane and thus saliva is released.
Some proteins lowers the activation energy of a reaction, making it more likely to proceed. The reaction will occur thousands or millions of times faster. The name of this special type of protein is enzyme.
