Compound tubuloacinar gland
This salivary gland is primarily a mucus-secreting gland, with only small areas dedicated to serous secretion. The well developed tubules display wide lumens and cells with basally located nuclei and foamy cytoplasm. A portion of an intralobular duct is also visible. Sublingual gland 400x
