    1.11   Glandular acini from a mixed gland of the oral cavity showing epithelial pyramidal cells Version française
Cross and oblique sections of several small glands of the oral cavity.

Each small gland, called an acinus, is lined with a simple epithelium formed of pyramidal cells. These cells have a broad base and a narrow apex, which faces a small narrow lumen (arrows).

Thus these epithelial cells are pyramidal rather than cuboidal.
