The zygomatic gland is found only in carnivores. The duct opens in a vestibule on the mucosal ridge by four or five orifices. It is innervated by the '''glossopharyngeal nerve''' ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN IX]]) via the trigeminal branch ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN V]]).

The zygomatic gland is a tubulo-acinar gland, made up of mainly [[Mucous Salivary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|mucosal]] cells (lighter stain). There are a few serous demilunes but they form only a minor contribution (darker stain).
