BTO:0001203 'salivary gland' attached as a parent, not adopted as the identity (NARROW). GOLD's 'X: Y' names a part or region of X, so X is a parent rather than the identity. Pulled out of the class-level sweep, whose note wrongly claimed no term matched. Label: 'Salivary glands: Parotid glands'. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.672991e1c6)
