Explanation:

Saliva production is stimulated during meals due to the presence of food in the mouth. The taste, texture, and smell of food trigger the salivary glands to produce saliva, which aids in digestion (e.g., moistening food for swallowing, initiating carbohydrate digestion with enzymes like amylase). Before and after meals, saliva production is at a basal (resting) level, which is much lower compared to the stimulated production during meals.
