Type: article
Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the stages of morphological development of the parotid salivary glands of rabbits during postnatal ontogenesis. The paper considers the key stages of differentiation and formation of these glands, as well as their morphofunctional features at different stages of postnatal development. Using histological and morphometric analysis, changes in the structure of the glands, as well as their relationship with the development of other organs of the digestive system, were studied. The results demonstrate significant changes in the morphology of the parotid salivary glands of rabbits, which occur at different stages of their development. Particular attention is paid to age-related differences in the cellular structure and functional activity of the glands, which is important for further studies of the physiology and pathology of the salivary glands in animals. This study contributes to the understanding of the biological mechanisms of salivary gland formation in mammals.
