Parotid gland
A single lobule shows the relationship of the secretory acini and the draining duct system. Intercalated ducts drain individual acini and then form intralobular, striated ducts. Striated ducts converge at the center of the lobule eventually forming an interlobular duct that exists the lobule. 200x
