GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Submandibular glands: Located below your jaw, your submandibular salivary glands consist of two parts: the superficial lobe and the deep lobe. Like your sublingual glands, the saliva produced in your submandibular glands enter your mouth from under your tongue.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The submandibular gland’s main excretory duct is the Wharton duct. This duct has been measured to be approximately 5 cm in length and 1.5mm in diameter. The Wharton duct originates at the submandibular gland hilum and then travels around the posterior portion of the mylohyoid muscle.
