Sure! I can help you with that.
1) To find out how many salivary glands are present in our body, we can refer to anatomical knowledge. Salivary glands are a group of organs in our body responsible for producing saliva.
The three major pairs of salivary glands are:
- Parotid glands: There are two parotid glands located in front of and below each ear.
- Submandibular glands: There are two submandibular glands located beneath the lower jawbone.
- Sublingual glands: There are two sublingual glands located below the tongue.
In addition to these major pairs, there are also numerous minor salivary glands spread throughout the mouth and throat.
2) So, to summarize, the names of the salivary glands in our body are:
- Parotid glands (2)
- Submandibular glands (2)
- Sublingual glands (2)
- Minor salivary glands (numerous and scattered)
