sublingual gland

The sublingual glands are located on the floor of the mouth under the tongue.

The parotid and sublingual glands account for the remaining 30%.

The excretory ducts of the sublingual gland are from eight to twenty in number.

There have been rare cases of primary tumors involving the parapharyngeal space and the sublingual gland.

Treatment of ranulas usually involves removal of the sublingual gland.

Ranulas are the most common pathologic lesion associated with the sublingual glands.

The sublingual gland is under the tongue.

The sublingual glands are salivary glands in the mouth.

In about 0-5% of cases, the sublingual gland or a minor salivary gland is affected.

This nerve carries secretomotor fibers to the submandibular and sublingual glands.

Saliva from the sublingual gland drains through several small excretory ducts in the floor of the mouth.

The sublingual glands make mucous only.

The sublingual glands are one of the main three pairs of salivary glands.

These postganglionic neurons provide parasympathetic innervation to the submandibular and sublingual glands.

There are three sets of salivary glands: the parotid, the submandibular and the sublingual glands.

Less commonly, the stones affect the parotid glands, located on the sides of the face, or the sublingual glands, which are under the tongue.

Gleeking may occur spontaneously due to accidental tongue pressure on the sublingual gland while talking, eating, yawning, or cleaning the teeth.

There it denotes the site at which the submandibular gland and the sublingual gland empty into the oral cavity.

If they are small and not problematic, then they are left alone, but otherwise minor oral surgery may be required (usually removal of the sublingual gland).

Minor trauma to the floor of the mouth is thought to damage the delicate ducts that drain saliva from the sublingual gland into the oral cavity.

The sublingual glands are a pair of glands located beneath the tongue, anterior to the submandibular glands.

The facial nerve also supplies parasympathetic fibers to the submandibular gland and sublingual glands via chorda tympani.

It drains saliva from the submandibular glands and sublingual glands to the sublingual caruncle at the base of the tongue.

The submandibular ganglion is responsible for innervation of two salivary glands: the submandibular gland and sublingual gland.

The sublingual fovea (or sublingual fossa) is a fovea in the mandible for the sublingual gland.
