The human body has three pairs of major salivary glands: the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. These glands produce saliva, which plays a crucial role in digestion and maintaining oral health.

The size of the salivary glands can vary but on average, they are about the size of a walnut. There are three pairs of major salivary glands in the human body: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual.
Humans have paired salivary glands.
The two types of glands in a human body are ductless glands and duct glands. A few of the duct glands are tear ducts, sweat glands, and salivary glands.
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.
you have three pairs of salivary glands, six in total (on both sides).
The mouth
The salivary glands in the mouth produce saliva.
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.
Salivary Glands
The genetic information for making salivary amylase is found in the nucleus of cells in the human body, specifically in the cells of the salivary glands where the enzyme is produced. The DNA in these cells contains the instructions for producing salivary amylase through the process of transcription and translation.
