III. Salivary glands

   1. Parotid gland

  ( NN-7-b, HE, human )

Lobules

»»  Serous acini
¡@Nucleus-spherical

¡@posses flattened or cuboid epithelium
»»  Intralobular ( or Striated ) ducts

Interlobular connective tissue

»»  Interlobular ducts ( or Excretory ducts )
¡@- columnar epithelium or stratified 
¡@columnar epithelia in some large ducts

   2. Submandibular ( submaxillary ) gland 

(NN-8-b, HE, human )

Lobules

»»  Serous acini-predominant
»»  Mucous acini ( usually with serous demilune )
¡@Nucleus

- flattened, located on the basal portion 

¡@Cytoplasm-lightly stain

(due to loss of the mucinogen granules )
