Definition (MSHCZE) Největší ze tří párových SLINNÝCH ŽLÁZ. Leží na obou stranách TVÁŘE v místě bezprostředně pod a před UCHEM. Párová žláza uložená na rameni dolní čelisti, prochází skrz ni sedmý hlavový lícní nerv. Její vývod vede přes m. masseter a ústí do dutiny ústní v blízkostí druhé horní stoličky.
