Discovering new organs in the human head

ARK News… Scientists have been studying human organs for thousands of years, and it has been believed during our modern era that we have observed everything, but knowledge has never been completed because a number of researchers have recently suggested discovering new organs in the human head.

According to the American "New York Times" newspaper, Dutch scientists have discovered what is likely to be two previously unknown organs, which are a pair of salivary glands.

The researchers reported that these salivary glands are located at the meeting point between the nasal cavity and the throat.

And if this discovery is confirmed, with certainty, it will be the first of its kind in three centuries.

Books on the structure of the human body at present refer to only three major types of salivary glands, one near the ear, the second below the palate, and the third under the tongue.

"We currently think there is a fourth member," said Dutch academic Matthias Wall star, a surgeon and researcher of the Netherlands Cancer Institute: "We believe there is now a fourth member."

Researcher Wall Star supervised this study, which was published in the Journal of Radiology and Oncology, and it was limited to a limited sample.

But researcher Valerie Fitzog, who was not involved in the study, says that if this discovery was real, "it would change the way we look at this area of the human body."

For his part, a researcher in radiology and oncology, Yvonne Murray, said that he was somewhat shocked "because we are in the year 2020 and we are still discovering a new organ in the human body."

The scientist leading the study, along with his colleagues, is studying data on people who have had prostate cancer, and therefore, their goal was not to find new salivary glands.

These vital glands play an important role in the human body by secreting a quarter of what a person needs from saliva in a single day, in order to perform important functions such as eating and speaking.

These glands carry the chemicals in the food into cells so that tasting takes place, and they also launch an attack against germs and help heal wounds.

Doctors are keen not to harm these salivary glands when they perform radiotherapy treatments, because any mistake in these medical interventions would lead to damage to this important tissue.
