Q

Parotid duct

A

*Stensen’s duct— > pierces the buccinator and open the parotid papilla of buccal mucosa
*Serous secretion
*Adjacent to second molar and has a little of tissue that usually the patients bite
* Wraps around the post border of the ramus
*Cn—> IX —> inferior Salvatory nucleus—> lesser pretrosal nerve
* within the parotid gland
- branches of CN VII
-Retromandibular nerve
- Auriculotemporal nerve
- Termination of External Cartoid Artery

*Largest salivary gland

Q

Submandibular Gland

A

*Wharton’s duct open in the floor of the mouth at submandibular curruncles
This travels around the floor and crosses sup the lingual nerve of V3
*Mixed secretion
*CN VII —> superior salvatory nucleus —> chorda tympanic
*Produces the mayority of the saliva
*Most common to produces sialolith calcification within the gland
*Wraps around the post of the mylohyoid muscle . The bulck of this gland is below the muscle just a small portion is above the muscle
