Fig. 2. — Anatomical variation in the solitary lobules of the monostomatic sublingual gland (MoSLG). (A)–(E): Photographs and schematic illustrations of the MoSLG from observed cadavers. White dotted lines indicate solitary lobules of the MoSLG (sMoSLG). In panels A, C, and E, the sMoSLGs are observed on the left lateral side. In panel B, the sMoSLG is observed on the right medial side. In panel D, the sMoSLG is observed on the right lateral side. (F): Higher magnification view of the boxed area in panel E. The white dotted line indicates a sMoSLG, and the white arrow indicates a connecting duct between the sMoSLG and the major sublingual duct (MaSLD). MD, mandibular duct; cMoSLG, caudal lobe of the MoSLG; rMoSLG, rostral lobe of the MoSLG; PoSLG, polystomatic sublingual gland.
