MORPHOLOGY OF THE SUBMANDIBULAR GLAND OF THE GERBIL (Meriones unguiculatus): A MACROSCOPIC AND LIGHT MICROSCOPY STUDY

The morphology of the submandibular gland of the gerbil was studied using macroscopic and microscopic techniques. Ten gerbils were anesthetized and perfused with 10% formalin and the anterior cervical region of each animal was dissected for macroscopic analysis of the submandibular gland. For histol...
