Salivary Glands and Tonsils
摘要
In this chapter, you will learn that the major salivary glands are made up of the parenchyma (the epithelium) and the stroma (the other tissues). You will study the organisation of these tissues and how saliva is produced in the salivary gland. You will see that saliva has many important functions. Finally, you will learn that there are several types of tonsils in the mouth and pharynx, and what is their microscopic structure.
