“…Therkildsen et al (1994) have used monoclonal antibodies to study the simple mucintype carbohydrate antigens Tn, sialosyl-Tn, T, sialosyl-T, T, H, and A in human salivary glands. They found inconsistent staining for Tn, T, and sialosyl-T, H, and A antigens in the ED cells of human parotid, sublingual, sub- Chauncey and Quintarelli, 1961;Shklar and Chauncey, 1963;Arvy, 1963;Bogart, 1970;Tomich and Eversole, 1972;Chomette et al, 1981;Isaacson, 1986 P, parotid; SL, sublingual; SM, submandibular. mandibular, and labial salivary glands, and strong staining of basal cells in all gland types for T and sialosyl-T antigens, but no staining of duct cells in any gland type with antibody against sialosyl-Tn antigen.…”

Interlobular excretory ducts of mammalian salivary glands: Structural and histochemical review

2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the major salivary glands of mammals, excretory ducts (EDs) succeed striated ducts. They are for the most part interlobular in position, although their proximal portions sometimes are on the periphery of a lobule, where they occasionally retain some of the structural features of striated ducts. Based on a survey of a broad range of mammalian species and glands, the predominant tissue type that composes EDs is pseudostratified epithelium. In some species, there is a progression of epithelial types: the proximal EDs are composed of simple cuboidal or columnar epithelium that, in the excurrent direction, usually gives way to the pseudostratified variety. Secretory granules are visible in the apical cytoplasm of the principal cells of the EDs of only a few species, but histochemistry has shown the presence of a variety of glycoproteins in these cells in a spectrum of species. Moreover, the latter methodology has revealed the presence of a variety of oxidative, acid hydrolytic, and transport enzymes in the EDs, showing that, rather than simply acting as a conduit for saliva, these ducts play a metabolically active role in gland function. It is difficult to describe a "typical" mammalian ED because it can vary along its length and interspecific variation does not follow a phylogenetic pattern. Moreover, in contrast to intercalated and striated ducts, ED cellular features do not exhibit a relationship to diet. Anat Rec Part A 288A: 498 -526, 2006.

“…At least forty‐two research studies published by specialists in the field of human major salivary glands can be easily found and read through public domain sites of the internet (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda MD or through http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). All these expert contributions have revealed the detailed salivary glands' morphology and correct terminology through diverse microscopy techniques; they all without exception called the secretory end pieces as acini (Thomas, ; Zimmermann, ; Tandler ; Arvy, ; Quintarelli, ; Munger, ; Riva A, Riva ‐Testa F, , ; Riva et al, ; Kalinin and Nevoromin, ; Bargmann, ; Young and van Lennep, ; Pinkstaff, ; Korsud and Brandtzaeg, ; Cossu et al, ; Chaudhry et al, ; Jamieson, ; Martinez‐Madrigal and Micheau, ; Tandler and Riva, ; Mori et al ; Tandler et al, ; Hoffman et al, ; Denny et al, ; Lantini et al, ; Pammer et al, ; Vered et al, ; Azavedo et al, ; Filho et al, ; Moreira et al, ; Dang et al, ; Le et al, ; Isola et al, ; Adamo et al, ; Amano et al, ; Nicolescu et al, ; Varga, ; Nelson et al, ).

Clarification of the Terminology of the Major Human Salivary Glands: Acinus and Alveolus are not Synonymous

Discrepancies in the terminology of the major human salivary glands often appear in anatomical textbooks and tend to adversely affect student's learning experience in Microscopic Anatomy. The main culprit is the inconsistent description of the morphology of these glands secretory end pieces where "acinus" and "alveolus" are used interchangeably. The correct terminology originated from Malpighi (1687), repeated by K€ olliker (1854), but over the years has been misinterpreted by prominent authors as a result of the nature of specimen preparation. This commentary is based on etymology, current standard light microscopy, research studies and consultation with experts. The overall objective of this publication is to recommend that textbooks should endeavour to modify the relevant descriptions about this terminology in their future editions. The most appropriate terminology for the major human salivary glands would be: (1) the parotid gland, entirely serous, should be called compound acinar glands; (2) the submandibular glands are mixed glands; their serous components are compound acinar while some of the mucinous areas are tubular with serous, crescents or demilunes, as acinar end pieces hence they should be named compound tubuloacinar glands; (3) the sublingual glands, mainly mucous glands with tubular shape, with small acinar end pieces that are serous crescents thence they should be called compound tubuloacinar glands. Anat Rec, 297:1354Rec, 297: -1363Rec, 297: , 2014. V C 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Key words: histology; human salivary glands; acinus; alveolus; terminology; compound acinar; compound tubuloacinar Footnote 35 in the latest edition of the Terminologia Histologica (FICAT, 2008) indicates that 'in some parts of the world the term acinus and alveolus are used synonymously while in others, the terms are used differently'. This inconsistent terminology in this field of human microscopic anatomy has been found in a variety of old and recent textbooks, reference books, medical dictionaries, some histology and histopathology internet sites. One of the reasons for this erratic findings is that the description and illustration of the terms "acinus" and "alveolus" do not correspond to their morphology and physiology. The source of the ambiguous terminology of the major human salivary glands can be traced back to errors in translation, mainly from Greek and Latin to German, and then from German to English.Another reason may be due to the technique of histological sample preparation at that time (Kolliker, 1854) that made the observer unable to distinguish fine differences in the internal luminal morphology (Bracegirdle, 1987).

Carbohydrate histochemistry of the opossum submandibular and major sublingual glands

Submandibular and major sublingual salivary glands of the opossum contain histochemically demonstrable neutral mucosubstances, nonsulfated acid musosubstances and sulfomucins. Sialomucins could not be demonstrated conclusively with the methods used in this study. Special serous cells of the opossum submandibular gland contained low concentrations of acidic mucosubstances but no appreciable concentration of neutral mucosubstances was seen. Sulfomucins were not observed in special serous cells. The mucous tubules of the submandibular gland contained high concentrations of neutral mucosubstances. No appreciable acidic mucosubstance was demonstrated in the submandibular gland mucous tubules. Unlike the mucous tubules of the submandibular gland, the major sublingual gland mucous tubules contained high concentrations of both neutral and acidic mucosubstances. The mucous tubules often contained sulfomucin-positive cells interspersed among cells that contained high concentrations of non-sulfated acidic mucosubstance. Marked staining of sulfated acidic mucosubstance was seen only in the major sublingual gland, in both the mucous tubules and in the seromucous demilunes. The seromucous demilunes contained both sulfated and non-sulfated acidic mucosubstances.
