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. It is likely that his family was wealthy and that his grandfather founded a trading company called the Muscovy Company. At some point in his life Henry married a woman named Katherine.
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.

Parotid means near the ears; sublingual means under the tongue; and submandibular means under the mandible (that is, under the jaw-bone).unctions of saliva include the following: The saliva from the parotid gland is a rather thin, watery fluid, but the saliva from the sublingual and the submandibular glands contains mucus and is much thicker. The salivary glands are solid structures composed of millions of secretory cells.
