PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The submandibular gland is the second largest of the three main salivary glands, which also include the parotid and sublingual glands. The submandibular glands are paired major salivary glands that lie in the submandibular triangle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The submandibular glands are located in the submandibular triangle, which is underneath the mandible (lower jaw bone) and above the hyoid (tongue) bone. The mylohyoid muscle, a paired muscle that forms the floor of the mouth, separates a superficial and deep lobe in the gland.

Detailed explanation-3: -About the size of a walnut, the submandibular glands are located below the jaw. The saliva produced in these glands is secreted into the mouth from under the tongue. Like the parotid glands, the submandibular glands have two parts called the superficial lobe and the deep lobe.
