Abstract

Three anatomically distinct pairs of major salivary glands (parotid, mandibular, and sublingual) and several different minor salivary glands are responsible for the production of saliva. This review article will focus primarily on the rat mandibular and parotid glands since most of our current understanding of the actual cellular processes involved in exocytosis has come from studies on these two tissues.
