==Zygomatic Salivary Gland==
==Overview==
 
  
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.
