Abstract
This article summarizes a series of recent studies that broaden the cr iteria for sexual dimorphism in adult mouse submandibular gland. From these observations, a hypothesis is presented, suggesting that the gro ss histological differences that are characteristic of adult sexual di morphism in the gland secondarily result from differences in the activ ities of three fundamental cellular processes, that is, rates of cell proliferation, cell sizes, and ongoing patterns of differentiation.
