You just got your fourth Salivary Glands

[QUOTE=".Scott, post: 6407045, member: 489053"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] It will make your mouth water - or perhaps your throat. A fourth set of salivary glands have been discovered - near the middle of the human skull. Doctors in the Netherlands made this surprising discovery while using a PSMA PET/CT scan on cancer patient. They documented their discovery in this article - [URL='https://www.thegreenjournal.com/article/S0167-8140(20)30809-4/fulltext']Radiotherapy and Oncology Article[/URL]. Being oncologists, the thesis of the article is that, as with all salivary glands, these need to be avoided during radiotherapy. One thing this suggests to me is that salivary glands must be pretty reliable - since these new ones (the "Tuberial Salivary Glands") have never given doctors notice before. [/QUOTE]
