چکیده
The present study was conducted to describe the histological features of parotid and submandibular salivary glands of European hamster. The glands samples were obtained from five adult males and microscopic slides were prepared using routine histological technique. The results showed that these glands divide in lobes associated with the ducts. The parotid was a typical serous gland, but the submandibular gland consisted of both serous and mucous acini in addition to serous demilunes around mucous acini.
