They keep the oral mucosa protected and lubricated, and help in the initial stages of digestion during mastication of food. There are three major salivary glands: the parotid gland, the mandibular gland, and the sublingual gland. There are two major types of saliva that are secreted from the salivary glands: serous and mucous. The submandibular gland secretes both types in a 3:2 ratio of serous to mucous respectively. The parotid gland is the only gland that secretes purely serous saliva, while the sublingual gland and minor salivary glands secrete mainly mucous saliva.
