Medical Conditions - Salivary Duct

Salivary ducts help in the passage of salivary juices from the salivary gland to the oral cavity. The parotid glands are located in front and behind the ear. The Stenson's duct connects the parotid gland to the buccal mucosa present adjacent to the second molar. Submandibular salivary glands are located under and deep into the jaws. Wharton's duct connects the submandibular gland to the floor of the mouth.
