After sectioning the serous cells resembled the common demilune shape, and were so named. [2] When the gland has this demilunar structure, it has mucoserous acini producing both serous and mucous secretions. Slice of submandibular gland. H&E staining, the structure of the red stained cytoplasm on the left is the serous demilunes.

Humans have three paired major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual), as well as hundreds of minor salivary glands. [1] Salivary glands can be classified as serous, mucous, or seromucous (mixed).

A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid (filtered blood plasma). They may sometimes develop in the body after surgery, particularly after breast surgery, abdominal surgery, and reconstructive surgery. They can be diagnosed by physical signs, and with a CT scan.
