Objectives of 2nd GIT Lab.

 Major salivary glands:


1. Parotid gland MH 094
2. Submaxillary gland MH 095
3. Sublingual gland MH 096
Parotid gland MH 094
Parotid gland- almost entirely (but may contain few mucous and mixed acini).
We can see : capsule, lobule, adipose cells
Parotid gland MH 094 (higher power)
1- Capsule
2-C.T. septa
3-adipose cells

2
Parotid gland MH 094 (higher power)
Types of secretory acini in parotid are:
(less) serous acini (mostly), mucous tubules(few) ,mixed acini can be seen

Parotid gland MH 094
Duct system : intralobular (stars) +interlobular ducts

Intralobular

interlobular
Parotid gland MH 094 (higher power)

Intercalated duct: the smallest ducts that insert into and drain
individual acini. They are more lightly stained than acini cells and
are low cuboidal.

Cross section
Longitudinal section
Parotid gland MH 094

Striated duct: arise from intercalated ducts.


They are columnar with basal striations and are surrounded by capillaries.

Tall columnar cells with basal


striation
Parotid gland MH 094
Interlobular duct: found outside of lobules. Lined by simple columnar, stratified
columnar or stratified cuboidal epithelium.
Supported by a thick layer of connective tissue.
Submandibular gland MH 095
Mixed gland with serous acini are more predominant than mucous
and mixed acini.
Submandibular gland MH 095 (higher power)
Inside lobule: we can see
Secretory units: serous acini (mainly), mucous tubules, mixed acini
Intralobular ducts: both (intercalated and striated)
Outside lobule: we can see interlobular duct surrounded by C.T. septa

Sublingual gland MH 096
Mixed gland with mucous tubules are more predominant than mixed acini.
Red star is main excretory duct
Sublingual gland MH 096
Secretory units are mucous tubules mainly
ducts system is simple and all ducts between acini are named
intralobular ducts
Sublingual gland MH 096
while ducts that lie outside lobule named as interlobular duct
Sublingual gland MH 096
To the Lt is submandibular gland
To the Rt is sublingual gland
