  3. Submandibular duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submandibular_duct

    The submandibular duct (also Wharton's duct or historically submaxillary duct) is one of the salivary excretory ducts. It is about 5 cm long, and its wall is much thinner than that of the parotid duct. It drains saliva from each bilateral submandibular gland and sublingual gland to the sublingual caruncle in the floor of the mouth.

  4. Salivary duct stricture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salivary_duct_stricture

    Saliva stagnates and forms a mucus plug behind the stricture during sleep when the salivary output of the parotid is reduced. Then, when salivary secretion is stimulated, the mucus plug becomes stuck in the stricture. [1] The backlog of saliva behind the blockage causes the swelling, and the increased pressure inside the gland causes the pain.

  5. Parotid duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parotid_duct

    The parotid duct is formed when several interlobular ducts, the largest ducts inside the parotid gland, join.It emerges from the parotid gland. It runs forward along the lateral side of the masseter muscle for around 7 cm. [2] In this course, the duct is surrounded by the buccal fat pad.

  6. Sialography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sialography

    Sialography (also termed radiosialography) is the radiographic examination of the salivary glands.It usually involves the injection of a small amount of contrast medium into the salivary duct of a single gland, followed by routine X-ray projections.

  7. Parotid gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parotid_gland

    The parotid duct, a long excretory duct, emerges from the front of each gland, superficial to the masseter muscle. The duct pierces the buccinator muscle, then opens into the mouth on the inner surface of the cheek, usually opposite the maxillary second molar. The parotid papilla is a small elevation of tissue that marks the opening of the ...
