Weber's glands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Weber's glands are muciparous glands on the side of the tongue. They are a minor salivary gland in the peritonsillar space. The glands are named after German anatomist Moritz Ignaz Weber.[1] They clear the peritonsillar space of debris.[citation needed]
