Mucous Salivary Glands
- Pale staining
- Lobed
- Large interlobular ducts in connective tissue septum
- Acini and intralobular ducts in lobes
- Outer connective tissue capsule
- Mucous acini produce a mucous secretion which is a viscous mix of glycoproteins
- Cuboidal cells filled with mucous droplets giving a ‘foamy’ appearance
- Nucleus is displaced and flattened near the base of the cell
- Mucous cells only stain faintly
