There are 3 pairs of major salivary glands:
- Parotid, the largest, is at the back of the jaw by the ear
- Sublingual, under the tongue
- Submandibular (also called submaxillary) in the lower jaw.
There are also many minor salivary glands. These are tiny glands in the lips and in the linings of the mouth and throat.
Salivary glands produce saliva which keeps the mouth moist and starts the digestion of food. It also protects against tooth decay.
3. Parotid, submandibular/submaxillary, sublingual.
how many salivary glands are in your mouth
three, in a normal human, or it may be 4 or 5
There are three pairs of major salivary glands. There are 600 to 1000 minor salivary glands.
it has three pairs of glands

There are about 600 to 1,000 minor salivary glands.
Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
Intrinsic salivary glands, located throughout the mouth, keep the mouth moist, while Extrinsic salivary glands secrete serous, enzyme-rich saliva in response to ingested food and the thought of food.
Merocrine glands
All salivary glands are structurally compound exocrine glands, example is sweat glands.
There are about 600 to 1,000 minor salivary glands.
There are three big pairs of salivary glands in addition to many smaller ones. The parotid glands, submandibular glands and sublingual glands are the large, paired salivary glands.
Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
Cats, unlike dogs, only have three major salivary glands. They are the parotid, sublingual and submandibular glands. Dogs have four pairs of major salivary glands and people have three.
you have three pairs of salivary glands, six in total (on both sides).
The salivary glands in the mouth produce saliva.
No. Salivary glands are close to the Pharynx.
Humans have paired salivary glands.
600 minor salivary glands located throughout the oral cavity

salivary glands donot digest salivary amylase converts starch to glucose
I think it is the Stomach, Salivary Glands, Pancreas, Small Intestine :)
