==Introduction==
*Painful conditions in the mouth lead to increase in salivary secretion and possibly also to failure to swallow the [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology#Saliva|saliva]] produced,
**e.g. in [[Cavity & Gingiva - Pathology#Foot and Mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]] in cattle there is an acute painful stomatitis and this is accompanied by the hypersalivation and partial anorexia.
See [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology|anatomy and physiology of the salivary glands]]

*Bilateral, uniform, painless, non-inflammatory enlargement of the [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology|salivary glands]]
