Duct through which saliva passes from a Salivary gland to the mouth.
A duct is a passageway that facilitates the transportation of saliva from the salivary gland to the mouth. This slender tube plays a vital role in the oral cavity by conveying the saliva produced by the salivary glands to its intended destination. It serves as a conduit, allowing the flow of saliva to assist in the process of digestion and oral lubrication. The duct’s function is integral to maintaining oral health and ensuring the proper functioning of the salivary glands, enabling the delivery of saliva to the mouth where it can perform its various functions, including aiding in chewing, swallowing, and the initial stages of digestion.
