  1. submandibular salivary gland

    The submandibular salivary gland is one of the three pairs of salivary glands found in the mouth. It is located beneath the lower jaw (mandible) and is primarily responsible for producing around 60 to 65% of saliva at rest, which aids in digestion by moistening and breaking down food. This gland also has ducts that open into the floor of the mouth, secreting saliva that contains both serous fluid and mucus.
