La dentition des chevaux est hautement spécialisée. [...] Pendant la mastication, les aliments sont mélangés à la salive. De chaque côté des mâchoires, les glandes salivaires sont au nombre de trois : l'importante glande parotide (qui s'étend verticalement derrière la ganache), la glande mandibulaire (le long du pharynx) et la sublinguale (sous la langue).
