The salivary ducts lead from the glands to the reservoirs and then forward through the head to an opening called the salivarium, located behind the hypopharynx.
During sialoendoscopy a small camera is placed into the salivary glands through the salivary ducts that empty into the mouth.
They help in expelling secretions from the lumen of secretory units and facilitate the movement of saliva in salivary ducts.
It divides the cavity into a dorsal food pouch, or cibarium, and a ventral salivarium into which the salivary duct opens.
A salivary duct by which saliva is secreted (produced and released), runs through the inside of each cheek from each gland.
Once the sialoendoscope is in place, saline is utilized to dilate the salivary duct and its branching.
These infections may cause blockage of the duct by salivary duct calculi or external compression.
From the anterior end of each gland proceeds a small salivary duct, which enters the buccal cavity a little below the sophageal opening.
