The parotid gland, the largest of all three head salivary glands, is located in the parotideomasseteric region. This pyramidal-shaped gland secretes purely serous saliva and its contribution makes up approximately thirty percent of the total saliva output.
The anatomy and innervation related to the parotid gland is fairly complex, but we'll break it down as much as possible to you on this video. The gland is bilateral, paired, and sits on either side of the face in the preauricular area behind and upon the mandibular ramus. There, it is encapsulated by the masseteric fascia deriving from the deep cervical fascia. The parotid plexus branches of the facial nerve passes through the parotid gland and divides it into a superficial and deep part but does not innervate it.
On this video, we will cover the following topics:
- function of the parotid gland;
- location and anatomy of the parotid gland;
- parotid duct;
- structures surrounding the parotid gland;
- blood supply;
- innervation;

I was wondering why you didn't cover mumps (parotitis ) in this video since it is one common condition associated with the parotid gland

Can you tell me why there is a crackling type sound coming from the parotid gland when I blow and compress my cheeks
I thought for a moment that an ad for food was playing... Then I realised where it would lead.

My dad has a kind of parotid glad and doc's have requested for IHC to confirm the status of it. But I'm really worried how will they cure this. Actually this has affected his facial nerve I'm waiting for IHC report to see what docs will say... Plz pray for my Dad thank you. Informative video I was able to relate to symptoms that my dad has.

I am green with jealousy ...:\....We never had such resources of study back when we were in med school...it was just books and books and boring professors who spoke like they had been forcefully dragged out of bed.....Students nowadays have EVERYTHING they need!!
