section::::structure.:sublingual glands.





























the sublingual glands are a pair of major salivary glands located inferior to the tongue, anterior to the submandibular glands. the secretion produced is mainly mucous in nature; however, it is categorized as a mixed gland. unlike the other two major glands, the ductal system of the sublingual glands does not have intercalated ducts and usually does not have striated ducts either, so saliva exits directly from 8-20 excretory ducts known as the rivinus ducts. approximately 5% of saliva entering the oral cavity comes from these glands.

like other exocrine glands, the submandibular gland can be classified by the microscopic anatomy of its secretory cells and how they are arranged. because the glands are branched, and because the tubules forming the branches contain secretory cells, submandibular glands are classified as branched tubuloacinar glands. further, because the secretory cells are of both serous and mucous types, the submandibular gland is a mixed gland, and though most of the cells are serous, the exudate is chiefly mucous. it has long striated ducts and short intercalated ducts.
