  • Pale staining

  • 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
