3.4  POJA-L42

Title: Parotid gland 1

Description:
Stain Trichrome-Mallory, human.  Survey: at the left bottom a large interlobular duct (in lumen remnants of secretion products) within a septum of dense connective tissue. At the top thinner (blue) septum, a thick (red-bluish) septum at the left. In the center three (intralobular) striated ducts between the serous cells.
​Note scattered white fat cells (adipocytes).
 
3.4  POJA-L43

Title: Parotid gland 2

Description:
Stain Azan, human. In most species the gland is composed entirely of serous acini. At the right a small (intralobular) striated duct;
centrally  one large interlobular duct with blood vessels. Scattered a few (white) fat cells.
