    There are three major salivary glands: the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. The parotid gland is the largest and produces serous saliva. It is located in front of each ear and secretes saliva in response to mastication. The submandibular gland is the second largest and produces both serous and mucous saliva. It is located below the mandible. The sublingual gland is the smallest and has no striated duct, so its saliva is rich in sodium. It is located under the tongue.

     Anatomically largest
     Acini are serous with occasional
    mucous presence
     Masticatory – salivary reflex
     Serous acini stain (as shown)
     Saliva produced is 99% water
     Proteinaceous compounds are
    packaged in granules and released
    at the lumen ( EXOCYTOSIS )

     Stenson’s Duct

     Support the underlying parenchyma and reduce back – permeation of fluid


     Accelerate the initial flow
     Reduce luminal flow
     Contribute to secretory pressure

     There are also Basal cells present along with lymph nodes
    Sub – Mandibular Gland
     2nd largest
     Produces the most saliva
     Serous & mucous
     Mostly serous
     Salivary glycoproteins and Ca
     Serous saliva in parotid contains mainly neutral
    glycoproteins unlike submandibular
     Mucous in submandibular, sublingual and minor are acidic
     Serous cells in SubMand. Contain neutral and acidic
    Sub - Lingual

     Smallest of the 3
     Unlike the rest, it does not have a single
    unit
     Has no striated duct
     hence the saliva is rich in Na
