This gland is the largest of the salivary glands and is situated near the ear and extends to the cheek area. 2. **Identify the gland for B (lower jaw)**: - The glands located in the lower jaw are the **submandibular** (or submaxillary) glands. These glands are found beneath the jaw and are responsible for producing a significant portion of saliva. 3. **Identify the gland for C (below the tongue)**: - The gland located below the tongue is the **sublingual gland**. This gland is smaller than the parotid and submandibular glands and is situated under the tongue. Now, let's fill in the blanks in the paragraph: Saliva is mainly produced by three pairs of salivary glands, the **parotid** (A), the **submandibular** (B), and the **sublingual** (C).
