Abstract

Anatomohistological researches on the parotid gland were made on four rabbits at the Centre of Biological Researches of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy. The morphological investigations were done according to ordinary standards, after a previous dissection of the cephalic area. They had in view the topographic situation, size and shape of the parotid. The histological investigations were done on samples taken from the parotid. These samples respected the standard procedure for a histological sample. The anatomohistological observations led to the main specific features of the parotid gland as compared to normal standards.
