Detailed explanation-1: -Your parotid glands are major salivary glands. You have two of them, and they’re located just in front of and below each ear. Like your other major salivary glands (submandibular and sublingual), your parotid glands produce saliva (spit) to keep your mouth lubricated, and to aid in chewing and digestion.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Parotid Salivary Glands are the largest salivary glands. Each parotid gland is located anterior and inferior to the ear, partially overlying the masseter muscle.
Detailed explanation-3: -The parotid glands are located on each side of the face anterior to the ears and are made up of two lobes, a superficial lobe, and a deep lobe. Between these two lobes, lies the facial nerve which is important for the function of the muscles of facial expression.
