The parotid, sub maxillary and sub lingual glands are located in the: Correct Answer Buccal cavity

Explanation:

  • Saliva is an exocrine secretion of the salivary glands.
  • There are 4 pairs of salivary glands in mammals:
  1. Infra-orbital glands: Situated below the eye orbit. Ducts of these glands open into the upper-jaw near the 2nd molar teeth.
  2. Parotid-glands: These are the largest salivary glands. Situated below the auditory-capsule (ear). Their ducts called Parotid duct/Stenson's duct that open in the buccal-vestibule.
  3. Submaxillary glands: Situated at the junction of the upper and the lower jaw. Their duct called Wharton's duct open in the lower jaw just behind the incisor teeth.
  4. Sublingual glands: These are the smallest salivary glands situated in the lower jaw. Their ducts called Ducts of Rivinus open in the buccopharyngeal cavity on the ventral side of the tongue. 
  • The parotid, sub maxillary and sub lingual glands together are located in the buccal cavity.

  • The intestine is a long tube-like structure arising from the stomach and ends at the anus. Its major function is the absorption of water and minerals.
