It isformed of lobes, which subdivideinto lobules and granula; is of ared, and at times yellow colour;and presents, internally, cells orvesicles, filled with a viscid andcolourless or yellowish fluid,which, collected on the point of aknife after incising the gland, ap-pears like a weak solution of gum,and is almost devoid of the ropi-ness of white of egg.
