Parotid [Nat. Glandula Parotis (Parotidis) Parotid Gland, From Par- + Greek. Us, Otos Uh]

The parotid gland is a fairly large formation among all the glands of the human body. In Latin, it sounds something like this: “Parotid gland.” I didn't find the word Parotic, maybe it's a dialect. Its function is to produce saliva. It is located closer to the external auditory canal.
