Overview
Buccal Salivary Glands produce Mucous secretions in cheeks. There are ventral and dorsal sections of the gland in all species.
Species Differences
Canines
The dorsal part of the gland is the zygomatic salivary gland in canine species.
Ruminants
Ruminants possess a third section of the gland, in addition to the ventral and dorsal sections.
