The gland has a variable number of excretory ducts ranging from 8 to 20. The majority drain into the floor of the mouth at the crest of the sublingual fold. A few drain into the submandibular duct. Sometimes, a collection of draining ducts coalesce anteriorly to form a major duct (Bartholin's duct) which opens with the orifice of the submandibular duct at the sublingual papilla (Zhang et al. 2010).
