The glands are divided into major and minor salivary gland categories. The major salivary glands are parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands. The minor glands are dispersed throughout the upper aero-digestive submucosa. Saliva is the watery substance produced in the mouths of humans and other animals . Saliva is a component of oral fluid . Human saliva is composed of 98% water , while the other 2% consists of other compounds such as electrolytes , mucus , antibacterial compounds and various enzymes . A review of some patents on salivary glands is also provided that summarizes the recent technical advancements taken place in this area.Downloads
