The structure of normal human submandibular glands has been studied with the electron microscope. Secretory cells are arranged around a central lumen, and are surrounded by numerous myoepithelial cells, showing tapering process. Intercalated and striated ducts follow secretory units. Striated ducts' cells are characterized by extensive infoldings of the basal plasma membrane, among which numerous mitochondria are aligned. Furthermore, the Authors examine the submandibular gland's innervation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D013363 Submandibular Gland One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.
