This document discusses the structure and function of salivary acini. It begins by defining salivary acini as the secretory part of the salivary gland, composed of a group of secretory cells surrounding a central lumen. It then describes the three main types of salivary acini: mucous acini, which contain pale foamy cytoplasm and apical mucous granules; serous acini, which contain dark staining pyramidal cells with apical zymogen granules; and mucoserous acini, which contain a mixture including serous cells arranged in crescents. Electron microscopy images show differences in organelles and secretory granules between the acini types.
