Rate of flow of saliva In the production of saliva the acinar cells actively transport ions from the blood plasma into the ducts of the salivary gland resulting in water being drawn into the ducts by osmosis As this saliva moves down the duct some ions are re absorbed but the amount that can be re absorbed depends on the rate of flow of saliva 50 7 0 6 0 50 3 0 10 100 Concentral Your answer 50 150 L HOO K 200 HCO 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 Graph A below shows how the composition of saliva varies depending on the rate of flow of saliva Graph B shows the composition of blood plasma Concentration mmol L a Outline the relationship between the concentration of Cl in saliva and 2 points the rate of flow of saliva b If the rate of flow of saliva is 2 0 mL min identify the concentration of point
