MICROSCOPY
CONNECTIVE TISSUE CAPSULE
COLLAGEN & ELASTIC FIBRES
SEPTAE – LOBES & LOBULES
LOBULE – Ramifications of a single duct
TERMINAL SECRETORY UNIT –PORTIO
TERMINALIS-secretory elements lead into a
series of ducts through which secretions poured
into the oral cavity.
DUCT SYSTEM
Secretions produced in acini pass along a
system of ducts, different parts of which have
differing structure.
