The sublingual glands of 2 male and 2 female adult ferrets were examined using electron microscopy. The secretory end piece consisted of mucous tubules, serous and mixed acini. The mucous cells showed two different types of granules. The serous cells contained electron-dense secretory granules. The duct system entirely comprised excretory ducts.
