    The document discusses the different types of digestive glands in mammals. It mentions the salivary glands, gastric glands, intestinal glands, pancreas, and liver as the main digestive glands. These glands secrete digestive juices to break down food. The parasympathetic nervous system increases secretion while the sympathetic nervous system decreases it. It then focuses on the three pairs of salivary glands in humans: the parotid gland, which is the largest and secretes enzymes below the ear; the sublingual gland under the tongue; and the submaxillary gland below the lower jaw.

    (1) Parotid : One-pair, largest salivary gland present below pinna. A stensons
    duct arises from each gland, opening between the teeth of upper jaw. Parotid
    glands secrete enzymes. Viral infection of parotid glands causes Mumps.
