| − | The mandibular gland is known as a '''tubulo-acinar gland'''. It consists of [[Mucous Salivary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|mucous]] cells that stain lighter and [[Serous Salivary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|serous]] demilunes that stain darker. '''Demilunes''' secrete into lumen by canaliculi between mucous cells.

| − | ==Innervation==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The mandibular gland is innervated by the '''facial''' nerve ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN VII]]) via the '''chordi tympanii''' and by the '''trigeminal''' nerve ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN V]]).
