The document discusses the parotid gland, which is the largest salivary gland located on the ramus of the mandible anterior to the ear. It facilitates mastication and swallowing and is wedge-shaped. The facial nerve and external carotid artery pass through the parotid gland, and inflammation of the gland causes parotitis, also known as mumps.
