GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The submandibular duct, called Warhtin’s duct, enter the floor of the mouth under the the front of the tongue. Sublingual glands, meanwhile, reside beneath the tongue, and supply saliva to the floor of the mouth as well. There are many (between 600 to 1, 000) tiny glands called minor salivary glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sublingual glands: These are below either side of your tongue, under the floor of your mouth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ducts of Rivinus, a group of excretory ducts, drain the sublingual gland. The largest sublingual gland excretory duct called the sublingual duct of Bartholin joins Wharton’s duct near the sublingual caruncle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The parotid contains serous acini and makes watery serous saliva. The submandibular and sublingual glands contain mucous and serous acini; therefore, they are known as mixed glands.
