The sublingual gland is a small salivary gland located beneath the tongue. It plays a crucial role in saliva production and secretion. This gland consists of multiple lobules and ducts that deliver saliva to the oral cavity. The sublingual gland helps moisten and lubricate the oral mucosa, facilitating speech, chewing, and swallowing. Its secretions contain enzymes that initiate the digestion process and protect the oral tissues.
