Submandibular salivary gland
This section is a longitudinal
section of a submandibular
salivary gland. The gland is a
'mixed' gland as it has both
serous (watery) and mucous
secretary elements. The serous
cells have densely stained
granules whilst the mucous
producing cells are elongated
and have an open, flocculent,
appearance. The gland also
contains many ducts of various
sizes and capillaries.
