    This document describes the structure of three major salivary glands - the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. It includes labeled diagrams of each gland showing their lobular organization and key components like serous and mucous acini, intercalated and striated ducts, and excretory ducts. The parotid gland contains mainly serous acini while the submandibular and sublingual glands contain both serous and mucous acini. All three glands secrete saliva through a system of branching ducts.
