Abstract
The narrow secretory ductuli in the acinar centres (cf. Figs. 95 and 96) continue into small intercalated ducts that lead out of the acini into the connective tissue stroma and further converge to form the intralobular and interlobular excretory ducts. Striated ducts, such as those present in other salivary glands (cf. Fig. 98) and myoepithelial cells are lacking in the pancreas. Intercalated ducts are surrounded by an own basal lamina and are localised within small roads of connective tissue.
