1. parotid

   The term "parotid" generally refers to the parotid glands, which are the largest of the salivary glands in humans. They are a pair of glands located in front of the ears and slightly below the ears, extending to the area beneath the jawbone. The glands are responsible for producing saliva, which assists in the initial stages of digestion and helps in swallowing and oral hygiene. The term "parotid" may also refer to anything related to these glands.
