salivary gland [FBbt_00005382]
Paired secretory organ connected to the atrium via the salivary duct. It is essentially composed of two cell types: cuboidal epithelial duct cells that form tubes connecting the secretory cells to the larval mouth; and secretory cells that synthesize and secrete high levels of protein (Andrew et al., 2000).
