Components

Component items:

• Salivatory Nucleus (LAC.HL.SAL)
  • Inferior Salivatory Nucleus (LAC.HL.SAL.ISL): facilitate digestion - produce watery saliva
  • Superior Salivatory Nucleus (LAC.HL.SAL.SSL): facilitate respiration - produce thiker saliva
• Vagus Nucleus (LAC.HL.VGN): Parasympathetic vagal functions in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs
