This functional tissue unit (FTU) illustration includes cell types related to the sublingual gland ducto-acinar FTU in the ASCT+B Table [Mouth v1.0](link to table TBD). Multiple histology atlases, especially Netter’s Essential Histology with Correlated Histopathology (Ovalle and Nahirney 2021), Junqueira’s Basic Histology Text & Atlas (Mescher 2021), Human Microscopic Anatomy (Krstić 1994), Histology: A Text and Atlas (Wojciech Pawlina and Michael H. Ross 2019), and Netter’s Head and Neck Anatomy for Dentistry (Norton and Willett 2025) were referenced. Uberon describes this FTU as follows: "The small mucin-producing salivary glands in the floor of the mouth beneath the tongue, anterior to the submandibular gland."
