The parotid organ is a significant salivary organ in numerous creatures. In people, the two parotid organs are available on one or the other side of the mouth and before the two ears. They are the biggest of the salivary organs. Each parotid is folded over the mandibular ramus, and secretes serous salivation through the parotid pipe into the mouth, to work with rumination and gulping and to start the absorption of starches. There are likewise two different kinds of salivary organs; they are submandibular and sublingual organs. Some of the time extra parotid organs are discovered near the primary parotid organs.

Structure:

The parotid organs are a couple of fundamentally serous salivary organs situated beneath and before every ear trench, depleting their emissions into the vestibule of the mouth through the parotid channel. Every organ lies behind the mandibular ramus and before the mastoid interaction of the transient bone. The organ can be felt on one or the other side, by feeling before every ear, along the cheek, and beneath the point of the mandible.

The parotid pipe, a long excretory pipe, rises up out of the front of every organ, shallow to the masseter muscle. The channel punctures the buccinator muscle, then, at that point opens into the mouth on the inward surface of the cheek, generally inverse the maxillary second molar. The parotid papilla is a little rise of tissue that denotes the launch of the parotid pipe on the inward surface of the cheek.

The organ has four surfaces – shallow or parallel, prevalent, anteromedial, and posteromedial. The organ has three boundaries – foremost, average, and back. The parotid organ has two closures – prevalent end as little unrivaled surface and a second rate end (peak).

Various designs go through the organ. From horizontal to average, these are:

• Facial nerve
• Retromandibular vein
• External carotid vein
• Superficial transient supply route
• Branches of the incredible auricular nerve
• Maxillary vein

Capsule of parotid gland:

Case of the parotid organ is shaped from the contributing layer of the profound cervical belt. It is provided by extraordinary auricular nerve. The sash parts to encase the organ. This parting happens between the point of the mandible and the mastoid cycle. The shallow lamina (parotidomassetric belt) is thick and is joined to zygomatic curve. The profound lamina is dainty and is appended to styloid measure, tympanic plate and the ramus of the mandible. The piece of profound lamina reaching out between the styloid cycle and the mandible is thickened to shape stylomastoid tendon. The stylomandibular tendon isolates parotid organ from the shallow projection of the submandibular organ.

Location:

Shallow or parallel relations: The organ is arranged profound to the skin, shallow sash, shallow lamina of contributing layer of profound cervical belt and extraordinary auricular nerve.

Anteromedial relations: The organ is arranged posterolaterally to the mandibular ramus, masseter and average pterygoid muscles.

Posteromedial relations: The organ is arranged anterolaterally to mastoid cycle of worldly bone with its appended sternocleidomastoid and digastric muscles, styloid interaction of transient bone with its three connected muscles and carotid sheath with its contained neurovasculature .

Average relations: The parotid organ comes into contact with the prevalent pharyngeal constrictor muscle at the average line, where the anteromedial and posteromedial surfaces meet.
