Fig. 92. — Photograph of a section of the submaxillary gland in a normal adult albino rat. 

 The acini are chiefly serous; a few of the larger acini contain mucous cells (light). Zenker 

 fixation; alum-hematoxylin stain. X250. 



Fig. 93. — Photograph of a section of the submaxillary gland in an adult albino rat after 

 12 days of inanition (on water only) with loss of 32 per cent in body weight. Compare with 

 Fig. 92, noting the marked atrophy of the secretory acini, with relative increase in the amount 

 of the stroma. Zenker fixation; alum-hematoxylin-eosin stain. X250.
