Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, occurs during the development of many tissues and organs in almost all multicellular organisms. Although apoptosis of salivary gland cells has been demonstrated in several pathological conditions, the role of apoptosis in the postnatal development of the salivary

Background: Tuft cells, which are characterized by long microvilli with prominent rootlets and by vesicular and tubular profiles, are present in the mucosal epithelium of a number of hollow organs, including the main excretory duct of the rat submandibular gland. Despite their widespread occurrence,
Acetylcholine (ACh) caused repetitive transient CI-currents activated by intracellular Caz+ in single rat submandibular grand acinar cells. As the concentration of ACh increased the amplitude and the frequency of the transient CI-currents increased. These responses occurred also in the absence of ex
The duct system of the rat submandibular gland consists of the intercalated duct, the granular convoluted tubule, the striated duct, the excretory duct, the main excretory duct, and the salivary bladder. The duct system contains special cell types, such as dark cells and tuft cells, in addition to p
