An adenomere is the functional unit in a developing gland.[1] The glands include the salivary and lacrimal glands. Adenomeres are secretory sublobular units having a centrally located collecting duct that connects with postcapillary venules; and is a structural-functional unit in the gland.[2]

They consist of all the secretory cells that release their products into a single intralobular duct.Шаблон:Citation needed

An adenomere is composed of:

  1. Intercalated ducts: transport saliva to larger ducts.
  2. Striated ducts: contain a lot of mitochondria responsible for electrolyte and water transport during secretion. Simple, low columnar epithelium line these ducts.
  3. Glandular cells: synthesize glycoproteins.
