Throat â Salivary Glands We call the major salivary glands the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. They all secrete saliva into your mouth, the parotid through tubes that drain saliva, called salivary ducts, near your upper teeth, submandibular under your tongue, and the sublingual through many ducts in the floor of your mouth.f your doctor suspects an obstruction of the major salivary glands, it may be necessary to anesthetize the opening of the salivary ducts in the mouth, and probe and dilate the duct to help an obstructive stone pass. Before these procedures, dental x-rays may show where the calcified stones are located.

Salivary gland The parotid glands are a pair of major salivary glands wrapped around the mandibular ramus in humans. The largest of the salivary glands, they secrete saliva to facilitate mastication and swallowing and to begin the digestion of starches.It is the serous type of gland which secretes the ptyalin.he sublingual glands are a pair of major salivary glands located inferior to the tongue, anterior to the submandibular glands. The secretion produced is mainly mucous in nature, however it is categorized as a mixed gland.

Cationic Contrast Agent Diffusion Differs Between Cartilage and Meniscus Abstract. 1  Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is a non-destructive imaging technique used for the assessment of composition and structure of articular cartilage and meniscus. Due to structural and compositional differences between these tissues, diffusion and distribution of contrast agents may differ in cartilage and meniscus.

Salivary Gland Disease and Tumors The three major salivary glands are the parotid gland, submandibular gland (also called the submaxillary gland), and sublingual glands. Saliva drains into the mouth through small tubes called ducts. 1  The parotid gland makes 25% of the saliva and drains into the mouth near the upper teeth. 2  The submandibular gland makes 70% of the salvia and drains into the mouth from under the tongue.

- The ducts of the salivary glands allow the passage of salivary juice from the glands to the oral cavity:1  parotid duct (Stenson duct): connects the parotid gland to the buccal mucosa, adjacent to maxillary second molar. 2  submandibular duct (Wharton duct): connects the submandibular gland to the floor of the mouth.he ducts of the salivary glands allow the passage of salivary juice from the glands to the oral cavity:

Salivary gland imaging and sialochemistry (radiological and biochemistry) The parotid orifice is adjacent to the upper second molar tooth, and the submandibular orifice is adjacent to the frenulum of the tongue on a small papilla on the floor of the mouth. • Palpation of the gland on allowing the patient to suck a lemon is often necessary to identify the point of salivary efflux.

Salivary Gland Stones Salivary Gland Stones Diagnosis and Treatments. If you have symptoms of a salivary gland stone, your doctor will first check for stones with a physical exam. Sometimes tests may also be ordered, such as X-ray, CT scan, or ultrasound. If a stone is detected, the goal of treatment is to remove it.rauma to the salivary glands may also raise the risk for salivary stones. The stones cause no symptoms as they form, but if they reach a size that blocks the duct, saliva backs up into the gland, causing pain and swelling. You may feel the pain off and on, and it may get progressively worse.
