The histology of the lachrymal glands of the duck and fowl is similar. In both birds the gland is a compound tubulo-acinar structure, lobulated and invested by a thin connective tissue capsule. Foci of lymphocytes, but few plasma cells, are found in the glands. Moderately acidic mucosubstances predominate in the gland of the fowl whereas sialomucins are found in that of the duck. Neutral lipids were detected only in the gland of the fowl.
鸭和家禽泪腺的组织学相似。在这两种禽类中，泪腺均为复合管状腺泡结构，呈分叶状，被一层薄的结缔组织包膜包裹。泪腺中可见淋巴细胞灶，但浆细胞较少。家禽泪腺中以中度酸性黏液物质为主，而鸭泪腺中则含有涎黏蛋白。仅在家禽泪腺中检测到中性脂质。
