Fig. 4. — Comparison of the histology between the solitary lobules of the monostomatic sublingual gland (MoSLG) and the polystomatic sublingual gland (PoSLG). (A): Low-magnification view of a section including the solitary lobules (sMoSLG) and the PoSLG. 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 glandular structure of the sMoSLG. Bar=100 μm. (C): Higher magnification view of the boxed area in panel A, showing the glandular structure of the PoSLG. Bar=100 μm. M, mucous acini; MD, mandibular duct; cMoSLG, caudal lobe of the MoSLG; rMoSLG, rostral lobe of the MoSLG; PoSLG, polystomatic sublingual gland; S, serous acini.
