Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrinsic salivary glands, also known as minor salivary glands, include the labial glands (in the lips), palatine glands (in the palate), and buccal glands (in the buccal mucosa). These glands are found throughout the oral cavity and are responsible for the continuous secretion of saliva, which helps in moistening the oral mucosa and initiating digestion. The sublingual and parotid glands, on the other hand, are examples of extrinsic salivary glands, which are larger, have defined locations, and contribute to saliva production primarily during eating.
