Labial Gland
A labial gland (A) is seen in this section of the lower lip. Run your tongue against the labial mucosa (inside aspect) of your lower lip. The series of little bumps you feel indicate the location of labial glands.
Labial glands are seromucous minor salivary glands. One of the functional differences between major and minor salivary glands is that minor salivary glands secrete continuously whereas major salivary glands secrete mainly during mastication of food.
