The sublingual glands are the smallest

of the three major salivary glands. They

lie bilaterally in the floor of the mouth

and within the sublingual folds.

They are bordered by

the mandible antero-inferiorly and the

genioglossus muscle postero-inferiorly.

Superiorly it is bounded by the tongue.
