Background: The mammary gland is one of the few organ systems in mammals that completes its morphologic development postnatally. Due to this unique developmental property, it serves as an excellent model for studying ductal morphogenesis beyond embryonic life. The primary objective of this study was
Mucous cells have been identified in the terminal portions of the early postnatal parotid gland in human and rat, although mature parotid gland acini are composed of serous cells or seromucous cells. Previously, Ikeda et al. demonstrated that mucous cells are present in the rat parotid gland on days
The excurrent duct system of the rat submandibular gland consists of a number of distinct segments. Using the direction of salivary flow as a reference point, these segments are, in order, intercalated duct, granular convoluted tubule, striated duct, excretory duct, main excretory duct (MED), and sa
