Exocrine glands (glands with ducts) are found near the mouth and throat. The main function of this gland is to salivate into the mouth to wet the food. The salivary gland also starts digestion and helps in protecting teeth from rot. The salivary gland can be further divided into parotid glands (located around the ramus of the mandible), submandibular glands (located below the lower jaw) and sublingual glands (located below the tongue)
