==Sublingual Salivary Gland==
==Overview==
 
The sublingual salivary gland is a mixed gland producing both [[Serous Salivary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|serous]] and [[Mucous Salivary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|mucous]] secretions. It is smaller than a [[Parotid Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|parotid]] gland and consists of a monostomatic compact part drained by a single duct. It is located over the rostral [[Mandibular Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|mandibular gland]] in the dog. The duct runs with the [[Mandibular Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|mandibluar gland]] duct and opens at the sublingual caruncle. The sublingual gland consists of a polystomatic diffuse part drained by numerous smaller ducts. There is a thin strip below the mucosa of the floor of the [[Oral Cavity Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|oral cavity]] and the duct opens beside the frenulum.
 
  
The gland is a tubulo-acinar gland containing [[Mucous Salivary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|mucous]] cells that stain lighter. The [[Serous Salivary Gland - Anatomy & Physiology|serous]] gland demilunes stain darker. The demilunes secrete into the lumen by canaliculi between the mucous cells.

Sublingual Salivary Gland

  • Merocrine secretion
  • Consists of monostomatic compact part drained by a single duct. Located over rostral mandibluar gland in dog. Duct runs with mandibluar gland duct and opens at the sublingual caruncle.
  • Consists of polystomatic diffuse part drained by numerous smaller ducts. Thin strip below mucosa of the floor of oral cavity and duct opens beside the frenulum.
