Abstract
In a section through a mixed salivary gland, the mucous secretory portions or mucous tubules (Fig.A1) are weakly stained with hemalum and eosin, whereas the serous acini (Fig. A2) are strongly stained. The mixed elements are distinguished by the presence of dark serous demilunes or crescents of Giannuzzi (Fig. A3) at the end of the mucous tubules. Figure B corresponds to the inset in Fig. A.
