  • Title: Histological and histochemical study of rat salivary glands during their postnatal development.
    Author: Carpen E, Papilian VV.
    Journal: Morphol Embryol (Bucur); 1980; 26(3):259-64. PubMed ID: 6453288.
    Abstract:
    The postnatal development of the three major salivary glands (parotid, submaxillary and sublingual) was comparatively followed up from the histological viewpoint and in relation with some histochemical reactions. The sublingual gland presented a well developed cytomorphological structure at birth, whereas the parotid and the submaxillary ones, immature at birth, gradually reached the overall appearance of adult glands, the former at 5--6 weeks, the latter at 8 weeks. In relation with the product secreted, it is already from birth that the parotid and the submaxillary glands presented negative reactions for mucosubstances and positive ones for revealing the protein-bound groups. The sublingual gland exhibited from the first postnatal 24 hrs positive reactions for revealing mucosubstances at the level of glandular secretory glands.
