PAROTID
Major salivary gland
Ectodermal origon
Irregular in shape extend from zygoma superiorly to oblique line
of sternomastoid inferiorly and to mid point of massetor muscle
Superficial & deep lobes
Processes( glenoid , pterygoid ,facial)
parotid duct (Stensen’s duct) & accessory gland
Covered by investing fascia of the neck & contain lymph node mainly in
superficial lobe
Structures within the gland:
Facial nerve
Retromandibular vein
External carotid artery
Parotid L.N
STRUCTURES WITHIN GLAND
Deep lobe lie in parapharyngeal space
Anterior: Infratemporal fossa
Posterior: Carotid sheath & styloid process
Medial: Superior constrictor muscle of pharynx which is
separating the gland from oropharynx & tonsils
RELATIONS
BLOOD SUPPLY
Superficial temporal & maxillary arteries
Retromandibular vein
LYMPH DRAINAGE
Parotid & deep cervical L.N
NERVE SUPPLY
PARASYMPATHETIC
Inf. Salivary nucleus
CN IX
Lesser petrosal Nerve
Otic ganglion
Auriculoteporal N. (CN V3)
Parotid gland
SYMPATHETIC:
Sympathetic trunk
Sup.cervical ganglion
Ext.carotid artrey plexus
Parotid gland
THE SUBAMANDIBULAR SALIVARY GLAND
It is wedged between the mandible & the floor of the mouth (upper part deep to the mandible)
It has large superficial part & small deep part
Its duct opens in the floor of the mouth at the tip of the sublingual papilla
THE SUBLIGUAL SALIVARY GLAND
A small gland which lies
between the mandible &
tongue
It raises the floor of the
mouth forming sublingual
papilla
It opens by many ducts
directly to the floor of the
mouth & into the
submandibular duct
NERVE SUPPLY OF THE SUBMANDIBULAR & SUBLINGUAL
SALIVARY GLANDS
• Parasympathetic: Facial (7th) nerve through the chorda tympani (fibers relay in the submandibular
ganglion)
• Sympathetic: Superior cervical symp. Ganglion
• Sensory: The lingual nerve
PHYSIOLOGY
25% of total salivary volume secreted by parotid
Organic & inorganic compounds
Serous type ( mucin , enzymes)
Produced & stored in the Acinus & modified in the ductal cells
Parasympathatic increases the secreation
Several reflexes (sight,smell,taste…etc) augment the secretion rate
Saliva has several important functions:
1. Lubricant to aid in swallowing food
3. Digestion by an emulgation of food and enzymatic cleavage
3. Mechanical cleaning
4. Immunologic defense
5. Mediation of taste sensations
6.Excretion of endogenous and exogenous materials, for
group–reactive substances, iodine, and viruse
7. Buffering effect
example, antibodies, blood

INCIDENCE
Salivary gland tumors >>> 3-4% of all head & neck
neoplasm
70% originate in parotid gland
> 70% of them are Benign
70% of them Plemorphic adenoma
10% of parotid tumors Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
