2024年11月2日 · The submandibular glands are bilateral salivary glands located in the face. Their mixed serous and mucous secretions are important for the lubrication of food during mastication to enable effective swallowing and aid digestion.

2024年12月13日 · The submandibular glands are located in the submandibular triangle, which is underneath the mandible (lower jaw bone) and above the hyoid (tongue) bone. The mylohyoid muscle, a paired muscle that forms the floor of the mouth, …

2022年12月11日 · The submandibular gland is the second largest salivary gland (only the parotid gland is larger). The submandibular gland is in the posterior portion of the submandibular triangle, formed by the body of the mandible superiorly, the anterior belly of the digastric muscle medially, and the posterior belly of the digastric muscle inferiorly and ...

2023年10月31日 · The submandibular glands are small, paired exocrine glands, each located within the submandibular (digastric) triangle of the neck. Together with the parotid and sublingual glands, they make a set of major salivary glands that are the components of the accessory digestive system.

Like other exocrine glands, the submandibular gland can be classified by the microscopic anatomy of its secretory cells and how they are arranged. Because the glands are branched, and because the tubules forming the branches contain secretory cells, submandibular glands are classified as branched tubuloacinar glands.

2024年8月20日 · The submandibular glands (historically also known as the submaxillary glands) are one of the three paired major salivary glands, located inferior and posterior to the body of the mandible, in the submandibular (digastric) triangle.

2025年1月24日 · The submandibular gland is one of the three major salivary glands, responsible for producing and secreting saliva to aid in digestion and oral lubrication. [1] It is the second largest salivary gland and contributes significantly to resting saliva production.

The submandibular glands are the second largest of the major salivary glands and are vital for saliva production. Located within the submandibular triangle (also known as digastric triangle), these glands are bordered by the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle and the inferior margin of the mandible.

2024年9月26日 · This is a large salivary gland situated in the anterior part of digastric triangle, in the submandibular region of mandible. It extends up to stylomandibular ligament. Division: The …

The submandibular gland (submaxillary gland) is irregular in form and about the size of a walnut. A considerable part of it is situated in the submaxillary triangle, reaching forward to the anterior belly of the Digastricus and backward to the stylomandibular ligament, which intervenes between it and the parotid gland.
