Conditions that disrupt normal salivary gland function, leading to issues like dry mouth.

Duct where saliva exits into the oral cavity, lined by varying epithelial types.

Cells that line the secretory duct, including columnar and stratified types.

Glands are supplied by the external carotid artery, facial and lingual arteries.

Salivation is controlled by salivary nuclei in the brain reacting to stimuli.
