Abstract
The objective of this study was to describe the anatomy of the parotid gland of Saanen goats, where twenty - six heads of domestic goats of both sexes were used, where the glands and their ducts were dissected for the measurement and determination of their morphology, as well as the path covered by the duct. Close values were found, indicating bilateral symmetry of the parotid gland in these animals, presenting a succinct "Y" format. Its duct extends from the ventral end of the gland, following the lateral to the angle of the mandible bypassing the masseter, where below the zygomatic muscle, flows into the oral cavity in the parotid papilla.
