PAROTID GLAND secretes saliva into the oral cavity through parotid duct which opens at the level of upper second molar.
Your largest salivary glands are your paired parotid glands which are located essentially within your cheeks (the upper set ;).
The Parotid glands
submandibular gland
Parotid Glands
Salivary glands are exocrine glands.
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.
There are about 600 to 1,000 minor salivary 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
submandibular ducts
Paotid sub mandibular sub lingual glands
sub-lingual gland
Sublingual and a portion of submandibular (lateral to sublingual) salivary gland.
there are four pairs of salivary glands they are: 1.parotid gland 2. sub-maxillary gland 3.sub-lingual gland 4.infra orbital

The salivary glands in the mouth produce saliva.
Saliva comes from glands located in the mouth. The major glands are 2 Parotid, 2 Submandibular, and 2 Sublingal. The duct each Parotid gland can be seen on the cheek near the 2nd upper molars. The ducts to the Submandibualr glands are just lateral to the frenulum of the tongue. You can cause these glands to secrete by getting a popsicle stick and lightly poking and messaging them. Smaller glands exist throughout the mouth and also contribute to salivary secretions. This includes the inside of the lips, palate, cheeks, and tongue and secrete via small ducts. the cells that produce saliva are mucous cells and serous cells of the salivary glands. The epithelial cells of the ducts modify the saliva before it is secreted into the mouth. drazx is the original author of this answer

No. Salivary glands are close to the Pharynx.
