Answer 1

C. Saliva production increases at the sight or smell of food. The muscular system helps to move food through the digestive system by contracting and relaxing the muscles in the walls of the esophagus and stomach. This process is triggered by the sight or smell of food, which causes the salivary glands to produce saliva. Saliva helps to break down food and make it easier to swallow.
