Salivary Glands | histology - University of Michigan
Unlike the parotid gland, the submandibular and sublingual glands possess both mucous and serous secretory cells. Mucous cells have a pale-staining, bubbly cytoplasm and nuclei that appear to be pushed against the basal cell membrane.
Oral: The Histology Guide - University of Leeds
Salivary glands are made up of secretory acini (acini - means a rounded secretory unit) and ducts. There are two types of secretions - serous and mucous. The acini can either be serous, mucous, or a mixture of serous and mucous. A serous acinus secretes proteins in an isotonic watery fluid.

May 1, 2023 · The sublingual gland is composed of mostly mucous acini and thus produces the thickest and most viscous saliva. Both parasympathetic and sympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system stimulate the secretion of saliva via …
Anatomy and Histology of Rodent and Human Major Salivary Glands
Major salivary glands of both humans and rodents consist of three pairs of macroscopic glands: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual. These glands secrete serous, mucous or mixed saliva via the proper main excretory ducts connecting the glandular bodies with the oral cavity.

Unlike the parotid gland, the submandibular and sublingual glands possess both mucous and serous secretory cells. Slides 183-2 (submandibular) and 185A (sublingual) are stained with mucicarmine which specifically stains mucus red.
Salivary Mucous Gland - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In basic histological sections, a mixed acinus is represented by a serous demilune on the surface of a mucous acinus (serous demilune of Gianuzzi), that is considered to be an artifact where serous cells are squeezed out from between the enlarged mucous cells.
Sublingual (salivary) Glands | Exocrine Glands - Histology Guide
Sublingual Gland. The sublingual gland is one of the major salivary glands. It is major mucous (65%) and minor serous (35%). Stroma - the connective tissue component of the gland. Capsule - connective tissue that encapsulates the gland. Lobule - …
