There are three types of salivary glands:
1. parotid = largest; lies over masseter muscle
2. submandibular = floor of mouth; lateral
3. sublingual = floor of mouth, medial.
The three pairs of salivary glands are the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual.
The parotid is the largest salivary gland and is situated below the ear. The saliva is released through an opening called the parotid duct which enters the mouth on the inside of the cheek next to the upper molar teeth. There is one on each side.
The submandibular salivary gland is situated under the mandible (lower jaw bone) and releases saliva just underneath the front of the tongue, behind the front teeth. There is one on each side.
The sublingual salivary glands are situated under the tongue and release saliva from many small openings (ducts) under the tongue. This pair of salivary glands sit next to each other under the tongue.
The 3 types of salivary glands are Parotid , sub mandibular , sub lingual glands
They are the parotid glands, submandibular glands and sublingual glands
the submandibular glands, sublingual glands, and parotid
The three pairs of salivary glands are: parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands.
Sublingual, submandibular, and parotid
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.
There are three major pairs of salivary glands: the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. There are also many tiny glands in your lips, the inside of your cheeks, and the lining of your throat and mouth.
Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
Salivary gland are three paired glands in our cheeks and mouth that produce saliva as well as salivary amylase which begins the chemical digestion of starches in our mouths. Our salivary glands are the paired parotid, sublingual, and submandibular 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.
you have three pairs of salivary glands, six in total (on both sides).
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.

Humans have paired salivary glands.
you have three different pairs of glands not parts
Chemical digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva from three pairs of salivary glands. Saliva contains the digestive enzyme salivary amylase.
there are four pairs of salivary glands they are: 1.parotid gland 2. sub-maxillary gland 3.sub-lingual gland 4.infra orbital
Three pairs of glands in the mouth and cheeks, known as salivary glands, produce saliva. One pair of the glands, the parotid, is located in front of the ears. Another pair the submandibular, is located under the lower jaw. The third pair of glands is located under the tongue and is known as the sublingual. There are several other small glands in the mucous membrane of the mouth that aid in producing saliva.

big pairs of salivary glands.The sublingual glands are also in the floor of the mouth, but they are under the tongue.
Yes, the human body do have three salivary glands.
