Histology of the solitary lobules of the monostomatic sublingual gland (MoSLG). (A): Low-magnification view of a section including the solitary lobules (sMoSLG) and the rostral lobe (rMoSLG). The boxed area in the schematic indicates the location of the tissue block. The boxed areas correspond to regions shown at higher magnification in panels B and C. Bar=1 mm. (B): Higher magnification view of the boxed area in panel A, showing the sMoSLG and the major sublingual duct (MaSLD). Arrows indicate an interlobular duct between the sMoSLG and the MaSLD. Bar=200 μm. (C): Higher magnification view of the boxed area in panel A, showing the rMoSLG and the MaSLD. Bar=200 μm. (D): Higher magnification view of the boxed area in panel B, showing the glandular structure of the sMoSLG. Bar=100 μm. (E): Higher magnification view of the boxed area in panel C, showing the glandular structure of the rMoSLG. Bar=100 μm. M, mucous acini; MD, mandibular duct; cMoSLG, caudal lobe of the MoSLG; PoSLG, polystomatic sublingual gland; S, serous acini.
