What is "submandibular gland"?
The submandibular gland is a major salivary gland located below the jawline that plays a crucial role in producing and secreting saliva. The submandibular gland contributes to the digestive process by releasing saliva containing enzymes that aid in the breakdown of food. It helps keep the mouth moist, facilitates swallowing, and contributes to oral health.
