Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your parotid gland connects to a tube (called Stensen’s duct) that carries saliva to your mouth, releasing near your upper molar teeth. Your sublingual and submandibular glands connect to a tube (called Wharton’s duct) that transports saliva to the floor of your mouth (under your tongue).
Detailed explanation-2: -A duct, called Stensen’s duct, drains saliva from the parotid gland into the mouth, at the area of the upper cheeks. The submandibular glands are found on both sides, just under and deep to the jaw, towards the back of the mouth.
