The development and morphogenetic timetable of the submandibular gland was studied in 37 human embryos and human fetuses. The medial paralingual groove constituted the anlage of the submandibular gland: Its anterior three-quarters gave rise to Wharton's duct, and its posterior quarter to the submandibular gland proper. The sublingual process of the submandibular gland originated from a lateral ectodermal bud of the anlage of the submandibular gland, in the posterior quarter of the medial paralingual groove.

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
D009024 Morphogenesis The development of anatomical structures to create the form of a single- or multi-cell organism. Morphogenesis provides form changes of a part, parts, or the whole organism.
D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell

D005333 Fetus The unborn young of a viviparous mammal, in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined.

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.
