The submandibular gland.
The anterior depression on the scapula is called the subscapular fossa. It is located on the anterior surface of the scapula and serves as the attachment site for the subscapularis muscle.
The rate of resorption is higher in the mandible compared to the maxilla due to differences in bone density and function. The mandible is subjected to greater mechanical stress from chewing and biting forces, leading to increased remodeling and resorption. Additionally, the mandible has less trabecular bone compared to the maxilla, making it more susceptible to resorption.
Salivary glands are classified as exocrine glands, meaning they secrete their products into ducts that empty into a body cavity or onto the body surface. They produce and secrete saliva, which helps to break down food during digestion.
The depression on the surface of a bone is called a fossa. It is a shallow, basin-like structure that typically serves as an attachment site for muscles or tendons.
The root of the lung is where blood vessels, nerves, and bronchi enter and exit the lung, while the hilum is the depression on the lung's surface where these structures are located.
The anterior depression on the scapula is called the subscapular fossa. It is located on the anterior surface of the scapula and serves as the attachment site for the subscapularis muscle.
A depression on the surface of the Earth created by groundwater is known as a cone of depression.
A central fossa is formed in the occlusal surface when multiple cusps join together. This fossa provides a central depression where food can accumulate during chewing and aids in guiding the movement of the mandible during occlusion.
An oasis usually occurs in a slight depression in the floor of the desert where ground water can reach the surface in the form of a spring.

A basin is a depression in the earth's surface that can be dry or filled with water.
a valley
A slight depression in the smoothness of a surface.
A cone of depression forms in an aquifer when groundwater is rapidly pumped from a well, creating a lowering of the water table around the well in a cone shape due to the water being drawn towards the well. This can result in nearby wells or surface water bodies experiencing reduced water levels.
