Best known for: Mapping the Hudson River and the North Atlantic; Biography: Where did Henry Hudson grow up? Historians know very little of Henry Hudson's youth. He was probably born in or near the city of London sometime between 1560 and 1570.

Definition of submandibular. 1  1 : of, relating to, situated in, or performed in the region below the lower jaw. 2  2 : of, relating to, or associated with the salivary glands inside of and near the lower edge of the mandible on each side.
The glands are divided into major and minor salivary gland categories. The major salivary glands are the parotid, the submandibular, and the sublingual glands. The minor glands are dispersed throughout the upper aerodigestive submucosa (ie, palate, lip, pharynx, nasopharynx, larynx, parapharyngeal space).he remaining tumors arise in the submandibular gland (8%) and in the minor salivary glands (22%). Although 75% of parotid gland tumors are benign, slightly more than 50% of tumors of the submandibular gland and 60-80% of minor SGTs are found to be malignant.
