☺✌hey dude, ☺✌
The salivary glands in mammals are exocrine glands that produce saliva through a system of ducts. Humans have three paired major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) as well as hundreds of minor salivary glands.[1] Salivary glands can be classified as serous, mucous or seromucous
Answer:
✔Saliva is mainly produced by three pairs of salivary gland. These are:
⭐ Parotids: Found near cheek and theae are the largest salivary glands. These opens through Stenson's duct.
⭐Sub-maxillary/Sub-mandibular: Found at lower jaw. These glands opens through Wharton's duct.
⭐ Sub-linguals: Found below tongue and these are the smallest salivary glands. These glands opens through Rivinus duct.
✔ These glands are situated just outside the buccal cavity and they secrete salivary juice into the buccal cavity.
