Salivary Glands Anatomy Quiz

The parotid is the largest salivary gland, and its main duct is Stensen duct.

The submandibular gland produces about 60% of saliva, and its main duct is Wharton duct.

The two types of glandular epithelial cells found in salivary glands are serous cells and mucous cells.
