The parotid gland is the largest salivary gland and secretes serous fluids. It is located anterior to the ear, below the zygomatic arch and angle of the mandible. The document describes the relations and structures within the parotid gland in detail, including surrounding nerves, vessels, muscles and the parotid duct. It also shows diagrams of the surface anatomy and branches of the facial nerve which passes through the gland.
