Definition:	The parotid gland is the largest of the salivary glands. It is found wrapped around the mandibular ramus, and it secretes saliva through Stensen's duct into the oral cavity, to facilitate mastication and swallowing. [WP,unvetted].
Comment:	The mouse parotid, exorbital lacrimal gland and exocrine pancreas have similar histological appearances[ISBN:0123813611]; [homology-note] "The most common oral glands in mammals are the salivary glands. There are usually three primary pairs of salivary glands, named for their approximate positions: mandibular (submandibular or submaxillary), sublingual, and parotid.[well established][VHOG]" xsd:string {date_retrieved="2012-09-17", external_class="VHOG:0000308", ontology="VHOG", source="ISBN:978-0072528305 Kardong KV, Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution (2006) p.525", source="http://bgee.unil.ch/"}
