id: UBERON:8000010
name: salivary gland ducto-acinar unit
def: "A lobule of a salivary gland consisting of secretory acini together with their contiguous ductal segments, including the intercalated duct and striated duct, together with associated myoepithelial cells, stromal tissue, and vasculature. This structural-functional unit is responsible for the production of primary saliva by the acinar cells and its ionic modification during transit through the ductal segments."

I believe that the lobule contains the ducto-acinar unit. Consider reflecting this in the defintion

I revised the def

comment: Also known as the "salivon" in classical salivary physiology literature. The three major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual) contain gland-specific variants of this unit that differ in acinar cell composition (serous vs. mucous vs. mixed).

this makes sense, I revised this and made this a subclass of 'organ subunit'

[Term]
id: UBERON:8000013
name: submandibular gland ducto-acinar unit
def: "A salivary gland ducto-acinar unit that is part of the submandibular gland, consisting of a mixture of predominantly serous acini (approximately 90%) with a minority of mucous acini, together with their contiguous ductal segments, and associated myoepithelial cells, stromal tissue, and vasculature. This unit produces a mixed serous-mucous saliva." [PMID:24862590, PMID:30855909]

if the 90% statement is stable across species can be kept otherwise i would suggest to generalise it (i.e. predominantly).

i'd consider using only part_of as it represents the space between gingival tissue and tooth surface.
