What gland is also known as the mixed gland?
The sublingual glands are a pair of major salivary glands located inferior to the tongue, anterior to the submandibular glands. The secretion produced is mainly mucous in nature; however, it is categorized as a mixed gland. Unlike the other two major glands, the ductal system of the sublingual glands does not have intercalated ducts and usually does not have striated ducts either, so saliva exits directly from 8-20 excretory ducts known as the Rivinus ducts. Approximately 5% of saliva entering the oral cavity comes from these glands.
What glands that produce saliva are also known as mixed glands?
salivary glands
Salivary gland
A gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland is a mixed gland that produces the gametes (sex cells) and sex hormones of an organism. In the female of the species the reproductive cells are the egg cells, and in the male the reproductive cells are the sperm. The male gonad, the testicle, produces sperm in the form of spermatozoa. The female gonad, the ovary, produces egg cells. Both of these gametes are haploid cells.
What gland that produces gametes is also known as a mixed gland?
gonad

What gland near the tip of the tongue is also known as a mixed gland?
anterior lingual glands Bauhin's glands
The submandibular glands (previously known as submaxillary glands) are a pair of major salivary glands located beneath the lower jaws, superior to the digastric muscles. The secretion produced is a mixture of both serous fluid and mucus, and enters the oral cavity via the submandibular duct or Wharton duct. Approximately 65-70% of saliva in the oral cavity is produced by the submandibular glands, even though they are much smaller than the parotid glands. This gland can usually be felt via palpation of the neck, as it is in the superficial cervical region and feels like a rounded ball. It is located about two fingers above the Adam's apple (laryngeal prominence) and about two inches apart under the chin.

There are several glands in the human body that can be considered mixed glands.  In the mouth, the sublingual glands are a pair of major salivary glands located inferior to the tongue which secrete primarily mucous, but are categorized as a mixed gland. The anterior lingual glands or Bauhin's gland near the tip of the tongue and the submandibular glands located beneath the lower jaw are mixed glands due to secreting a mixture of serous fluid and mucous. Also a gonad, sex gland, or reproductive gland is considered a mixed gland due to the fact it produces the gametes or sex cells and sex hormones of an organism.
