Diagram of paired exocrine salivary glands of an adult female mosquito (family Culicidae), depicting two elongated lateral lobes and a shorter median lobe converging into a common salivary duct. Located in the thorax, these glands (SGs; salivary glands) contain secretory acini that produce saliva with anticoagulant and antihemostatic activities to enable hematophagy. In entomology and insect physiology, this organ within the head-thorax complex supports blood feeding and provides a route for delivery of saliva to the proboscis.
