~~==Introduction==~~

−

The [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]] is drained by numerous salivary glands. The saliva secreted keeps the mouth moist and facillitates [[Mastication|mastication]] by lubricating the passage of the bolus.

−

Salivary gands are present in the cheek, tongue, lips, oesophagus, soft palate and pharynx but the major salivary glands are located further away from the [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]] and function through connective ducts.

−

~~Saliva provides digestive enzymes, is a route of excretion of substances which accumulate on the [[Tooth Anatomy~~ - Anatomy & Physiology~~|teeth]] and provides lubricative and also cleansing functions.~~
