Detailed explanation-1: -Saliva is produced by three pairs of major glands and numerous minor salivary glands located in the oral cavity. The parotid, submandibular, and sublingual salivary glands contribute to 90% of total saliva secretions, while minor salivary glands contribute to the remaining 10%.
Detailed explanation-2: -Submandibular glands–These two glands are located just under both sides of the lower jaw and carry saliva up to the floor of the mouth under the tongue. Sublingual glands–These two glands are located just under the front most area of the floor of the mouth.
Detailed explanation-3: -That’s right, it’s spit, also known as saliva (say: suh-LIE-vuh). Saliva is a clear liquid that’s made in your mouth 24 hours a day, every day. It’s made up mostly of water, with a few other chemicals. The slippery stuff is produced by the salivary (say: SAL-uh-vair-ee) glands.
