[6] These are largest of the salivary glands, secreting saliva to facilitate mastication and swallowing, and amylase to begin the digestion of starches.

4. Insect morphology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_morphology

   The salivary glands (element 30 in numbered diagram) in an insect's mouth produce saliva. 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. By moving its mouthparts (element 32 in numbered diagram) the insect can mix its food with saliva.

   There can hardly be any doubt (although it has not been proven) that ectohormones of the salivary gland secretions play the main role in this redifferentiation." – Albrecht Bethe[6] Bethe further divided the ectohormones into homoiohormones, which – according to today's definition of a pheromone – act on individuals of the same species ...

9. Salivatory nuclei - Wikipedia

   Preganglionic fibers en route to the pterygopalatine ganglion (destined to ultimately innervate the lacrimal gland and the mucosal glands of the nose, palate, and pharynx) subsequently form the greater petrosal nerve, whereas those en route to the submandibular ganglion (destined to ultimately innervate the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands) subsequently form the chorda tympani.
