Document Summary

The parotid gland is a bilateral salivary gland located in the face. It produces serous saliva, a watery solution rich in enzymes. This is then secreted into the oral cavity, where it lubricates and aids in the breakdown of food. The parotid gland is a bilateral structure, which displays a lobular and irregular morphology. Superficial lobes, which are separated by the facial nerve. It lies within a deep hollow, known as the parotid region. The secretions of the parotid gland are transported to the oral cavity by the stensen duct. It arises from the anterior surface of the gland, traversing the masseter muscle. The duct then pierces the buccinator, moving medially. It opens out into the oral cavity near the second upper molar. Fig 1. 0 position of the parotid gland and borders of the parotid region. The anatomical relationships of the parotid gland are of great clinical importance particularly during parotid gland surgery.
