The sheep parotid is a compound tubular gland; its ultrastructure reflects the function of this gland to secrete large amounts of fluid with very little protein. The cells of the secretory tubules possess extensively folded lateral plasma membranes and a fairly large number of mitochondria. Rapid equilibration of water across the epithelium is assured by the close proximity over large areas of intercellular spaces and the wide secretion canaliculi. Numerous long microvilli extend into the latter. Although secretion granules may be quite numerous, there is evidence that many of these granules are not discharged but undergo degradation by lysosomal enzymes. The intercalated ducts are often dilated but excessive distension is probably prevented by bundles of microfilaments in their epithelial cells.
