  1. submaxillary salivary gland

    The submaxillary salivary gland, also known as the submandibular gland, is one of the major salivary glands in the body, located beneath the lower jaw. It produces and secretes saliva into the mouth, which aids in food digestion, oral lubrication, maintenance of dental health, and other crucial functions. The gland's production contains a mix of both serous (watery) and mucous (thick, slippery) saliva. Disorders or problems in this gland can lead to conditions such as dry mouth, infection, and formation of salivary stones.
