Q

What cells modify the saliva?

How?

A

Ductal cells

Saliva was isotonic and plasma like; ductal cells modified the plasma solution to make it hypotonic (saliva)

There is a net absorption of solutes because ductal cells are impermeable to water and not absorbed with the solute->solution becomes hypotonic
