          Abstract

          The histology of the salivary glands of the armadillo Zaedyus pichiy (Desmarest, 1804) was studied. Three pairs of major compound tubuloacinar salivary glands, parotid, submandibular and sublingual, were distinguished. The parotid gland is histologically a serous gland. The submandibular gland consists of two lobes. The anterior lobe is composed of mixed and serous acini. The posterior lobe is predominantly mucous. There is a reservoir or salivary bladder, related with the anterior lobe. The sublingual gland is mixed, composed of mucous acini with scattered serous demilunes

          Se estudió la histología de las glándulas salivales del armadillo Zaedyus pichiy (Desmarest, 1804). Se identificaron tres pares de glándulas salivales mayores, tubuloacinares compuestas, parótida, submandibular y sublingual. La parótida es histológicamente una glándula serosa. La glándula submandibular posee dos lóbulos. El lóbulo anterior está formado por acinos mixtos y serosos. El lóbulo posterior es principalmente mucoso. Un reservorio o vesícula salival se relaciona con la glándula submandibular anterior. La glándula sublingual es mixta y está compuesta por acinos mucosos con escasas semilunas serosas

          Ultrastructure of the parotid gland of the nine-banded armadillo.

          J R Ruby (1978)
          The parotid gland of the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) was examined by electron microscopy. In general, the ultrastructural morphology of this gland appears similar to that described in other species. The most unusual feature of the gland is that the secretory granules of the acinar cells contain a wide variety of substructures. These substructures range from a single dense core within a homogeneous matrix to a more complex cord-like network extending throughout the granule. It is suggested that this diversity of substructures is indicative of a maturation process of the secretory granules. The intercalated ducts are secretory. The myoepithelial cells are numerous, extend throughout the gland, and are associated with the striated ducts.
