Abstract | ||||
Major salivary glands are characterized by the presence of numerous excretory units that consist of acini and a peculiar duct system. The excretion of saliva is assisted by the myoepithelial cells which play an important role in the morphology of several kinds of salivary gland tumors (MartinezMadringal and Micheau, 1989). Although the rat salivary glands are deficient in acini at birth, acinar cells proliferate rapidly during the early postnatal period (Klein, 1982). | ||||
