Serous Salivary Glands
- Connective tissue capsule
- Septa dividing the parenchyma into lobes
- Duct system
- Interlobular ducts run in the tissue septum lined by cuboidal to columnar epithelium
- Intralobular ducts run within the lobules. Striated intralobular ducts lined with cuboidal epithelium. Intercalated intralobular ducts lined with low cuboidal to simple squamous epithelium.
- Serous acini secrete a watery solution rich in proteins with spherical nuclei. Cells are pyramidal, cuboidal or crescent shaped.
