According to the lecture, which duct carries parotid secretion into the buccal cavity?
Answer
Stensen duct
Explanation
The lecture associates the **parotid gland** with **Stensen duct**. **Wharton ducts** are associated with the submaxillary gland, and the sublingual gland drains through multiple ducts called the **ducts of Rivinus**. Brunner’s glands are mentioned in relation to the duodenal submucosa, not as a salivary duct. **Key takeaway:** Parotid—Stensen; submaxillary—Wharton; sublingual—Rivinus ducts.\n\n**Glossary:**\n- **Parotid gland**: A major salivary gland located near the ear.\n- **Buccal cavity**: The mouth cavity.\n- **Duct**: A passage that carries a gland’s secretion.
