The salivary glands produce saliva, which contains enzymes that begin to break down food as well as lubricate food for swallowing. There are three major pairs of salivary glands - the parotid glands located near the ears, the submandibular glands under the jaw bone, and the sublingual glands under the tongue. Diseases and disorders that can affect the salivary glands include infections, inflammation, tumors, and Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the salivary and tear glands.
