Salivary Glands

✨ Overview

The salivary glands are exocrine glands in the oral cavity that produce and secrete saliva, a vital fluid that begins digestion, maintains oral hygiene, and supports taste perception. Beyond enzymatic functions, these glands play a key role in lubrication, antimicrobial defense, and overall digestive health.
