Parotid Gland Cells (PGC)

Parotid gland cells are the specialized cells within the parotid gland that are responsible for producing saliva. These cells are called acinar cells and they secrete a watery, enzyme-rich fluid that helps with the initial digestion of food in the mouth. The parotid gland is one of the major salivary glands in the human body and plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health and facilitating the process of digestion.
