Glandular buds are fairly large accumulations of epithelial cells with oval nuclei, located in the submucosal layer. Their size ranges from 1 to several millimeters. Most of them are found in the glands of the excretory ducts of the pancreas and the pyloric plexuses of the stomach; in addition, the glands of the bottom of the tongue abound in glandular buds.
