What Does HSG Stand For?
HSG stands for Human Salivary Gland
HSG, or Human Salivary Gland, refers to the exocrine glands responsible for producing and secreting saliva in humans. These glands play a crucial role in the digestive process, oral health, and maintaining the moisture and lubrication of the oral cavity. The major salivary glands include the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, each contributing to the overall function of saliva in digestion, taste, and protection against microbial infections. Understanding HSG is essential for studying various conditions related to salivary gland function and disorders.
