My histology teacher told me, that there aren't any intercalated ducts at all in the sublingual glands.... or maybe i just heard wrong still nice worke greetings from rumania

I thought the sublingual gland had none (or close to none) striated ducts as it is almost entirely mucous. Wikipedia claims that striated ducts are found in submandibular gland and parotid gland. Is this just a simplified view of the fact that there are so very few of them in the sublingual gland, or is there a deeper truth to this?

Yes, the sublingual gland has very few striated and intercalated ducts because the high viscosity of the mucous secretion would not flow smoothly in the STRIATED ducts. (beacuse it would get "stuck" in the striation of the cytoplasm.
