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
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
Tuft cells, a widespread cell type that is present in the mucosal epithelia of hollow organs, including the main excretory duct (MED) epithelia of the rat salivary gland, are well documented morphologically. However, studies of their development are few. The purpose of the present study was to exami
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,
Previous studies demonstrated that the main excretory duct (MED) of the rat submandibular gland can internalize exogenous protein in addition to reabsorbing and secreting electrolytes. However, more precise studies have not been conducted. The aim of this study was to elucidate the cell types respon
