lie external to the mouth but their

ducts connect to it. They secrete saliva only when we eat or when we anticipate eating.

Back 6

large extrinsic salivary glands

Front 7

3 pairs extrinsic salivary glands

Back 7

parotid, submandibular, and
sublingual

Front 8

any of the saliva-secreting exocrine glands of oral cavity

Back 8

salivary glands

Front 9

large salivary gland located in front of and below each ear that produces much of daytime saliva

Back 9

parotid gland

Front 10

salivary gland inside lower jaw on either side that produces most of the nocturnal saliva

Back 10

submandibular gland

Front 11

small salivery gland located on either side of mouth under tongue that produces the viscous component of saliva

Back 11

sublingual gland

Front 12
