Ribosomes are not the most numerous cell inside the mouth and neither is a Golgi apparatus. Anybody who says that is wrong. The most numerous cell inside the mouth are Lysosomes. It is Lysosomes because they break down waste and help digestion.

Which gland does the saliva comes from?

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


What specialized organelle would you expect to find in a cheek cell?

Ribosomes are the most numerous organelles in a standard cheek cell. They are found throughout the cell, and also in other organelles. I'm fairly certain it is the ribosome as well. Ribosomes cover the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear envelope. Many ribosomes float around in the cytosol, also. It is a toss up between ribosomes and mitochondria, simply because my biology text book mentioned that some cells may have thousands of mitochondria. I do, however, believe ribosomes are the most common in cells. Actually i think the answer is lysosomes, since the mouth is constantly breaking down the food we eat, the lysosome produces enzymes to aid in that process. I am currently in biology class and have this question and my professor said he would give us a hint that it wasn't lysosomes. Then we got into a discussion about it, and it is indeed ribosomes. Ribosomes are located of the rough enoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope like stated above, but are also located all over the body.
