Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parotid gland, located ventral to the ear, is the largest of the salivary glands and produces nearly half of the total volume of saliva produced. The mandibular gland is located near the angle of the jaw and produces about one-third of the total volume of saliva, while the sublingual gland, located beneath the tongue, produces only about 5-10% of the total volume. The zygomatic gland, located near the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), is a minor salivary gland and produces a small volume of saliva.
