Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Submandibular acinar glands secrete numerous proteins such as digestive enzymes and defense proteins on the basis of the exocrine secretion mode.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acinar cells are the secretory cells of the salivary gland and are either serous or mucinous. These cells differ in their structure and the content that they produce and secrete.
Detailed explanation-3: -The submandibular glands contain both mucous and serous cells. The sublingual glands contain mostly mucous cells with just a few serous cells.
