Brief Explanations

Salivary glands are exocrine glands that produce saliva. The three main pairs are the parotid (located near the ears), submandibular (under the lower jaw), and sublingual (below the tongue). The submaxillary is another name for the submandibular gland. Buccal glands are minor salivary glands. Mandibular is related to the jaw but not a main salivary gland pair name. Subcutaneous glands are not salivary glands.

Answer:

Parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands
