Saliva chemicals, molecular model
Saliva chemicals. Molecular structure of a group of saliva molecules. These include the antibody immunoglobulin A (blue, double-y shape, see C014/5652). Saliva is secreted by the salivary glands to aid digestion. Mostly water, it also contains electrolytes, mucus, glycoproteins, enzymes, and antibacterial chemicals. The large ribbon-like structures show the presence of proteins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of saliva chemicals. The assortment of molecules depicted here includes the prominent presence of immunoglobulin A, represented by its distinct blue, double-y shape. Saliva, secreted by our salivary glands, plays a vital role in aiding digestion. While primarily composed of water, this biological fluid also contains electrolytes, mucus, glycoproteins, enzymes, and antibacterial chemicals. The large ribbon-like structures seen in the image beautifully illustrate the abundance of proteins found within saliva. This collection serves as a visual representation of the complex biochemical processes occurring within our mouths to facilitate digestion. With its white background and meticulous illustration style, this artwork provides an insightful glimpse into the physiological and chemical aspects associated with saliva. It highlights various components such as glycoproteins and antibodies that contribute to maintaining oral health through their antibacterial properties. Bo Veisland's skillful creation captures both the scientific intricacies and aesthetic appeal inherent in studying human physiology at a molecular level. By presenting these cutouts against a clean backdrop, viewers are invited to appreciate the beauty hidden within our own bodies while gaining a deeper understanding of how essential saliva is for proper digestive function.
