Of the three major salivary glands, one is located completely outside the oral
cavity, one completely inside the oral cavity, and one partly in the neck and
partly in the oral cavity. The course taken by their ducts reflects this difference.

Salivary Gland Ducts

The duct of the parotid gland (Stensons duct) perforates the buccinator m.
(
) to open opposite the second maxillary molar (parotid papilla). The duct
of the sublingual gland opens via series of small ducts along the sublingual fold
(
).

Salivary Gland Ducts

The duct of the submandibular gland (Whartons duct) courses

anteriorly across the floor of the mouth, opening at the sublingual
papilla (
) on either side of the lingual frenum.

What are Tonsils?

Tonsils are lymphoid tissue that when healthy
acts to fight disease
They are located around the openings at the
back of the throat and back of nose (i.e., in
the pharynx)
When they become chronically infected, they
are of little use and are often removed
surgically (tonsillectomy)
