  • Title: Ultrastructural morphology of secretory granules of submandibular and parotid salivary glands of man.
    Author: Harrison JD, Auger DW, Badir MS, Paterson KL.
    Journal: Arch Oral Biol; 1987; 32(4):229-34. PubMed ID: 3478025.
    Abstract:
    Morphological variation among secretory granules of the same type of cell was found in the acini, intercalary and striated ducts, and collecting-ducts, and was greatest in serous and intercalary-duct cells. Secretory granules of monopartite and bipartite structure were seen in all these cell types; tripartite forms were seen in serous and intercalary-duct cells. A possible explanation for the variation is that one type of cell may be able to produce a range of secretory products and package them variously into secretory granules, thus creating different appearances.
