Salivary gland is the gland associated with the mouth that secretes saliva. Salivary glands are three pairs of glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual) in the oral cavity that secrete saliva to moisten the oral mucosa.
parotid glands – under the lobes of ears
submandibular glands – under each side of jawbone
sublingual glands – under tongue
