Sublingual Salivary Gland
- Merocrine secretion
- Smaller than parotid gland
- 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.
