Etymology:
Meaning:
Salivation refers to the secretion and flow of saliva from the salivary glands into the mouth.
Origin:
The word "salivation" originates from the Latin word "saliva," which means "spit, spittle." The root of the word, "*sal-," means "to flow." This reflects the primary function of saliva, which is to moisten the mouth and aid in digestion by breaking down food.
In medical terminology, salivation is the process by which saliva is produced by the salivary glands and released into the oral cavity. Salivation is controlled by the nervous system and is influenced by various factors, including reflex actions, hormones, and psychological stimuli.
