title: [Secretion pressure of human submandibular gland (author's transl)].
abstract: The secretion pressure as well as the resistance of Glandula submandibularis towards retrograde instillation of water are determined electromanometrically. The results are compared with such measurements carried out by the same method in the parotid gland. The pressure behaviour of the submandibular gland corresponds with some quantitative differences to the behaviour of the parotid gland. The differences show the generally lower secretion power of submandibular gland. However there are no differences in the resistance against a retrograde instillation of water between submandibular and parotid gland. The connections of the observed and calculated parameters and clinical patterns are discussed.
