The salivary glands and the mammary glands differ in structure on the basis of their basal epithelial cells.
The salivary glands have branched ducts which open in oral cavity. They also have saliva secreting glandular secretory end pieces called acini. The mammary glands contain alveoli which are lined by epithelial cells that secrete milk. The alveoli group together to form structures known as lobules each of which has a lactiferous duct.
In both these glands, the epithelium gets arranged into alveoli but in salivary glands, a single basal epithelial cell happens to cover the top of each alveolus but in the mammary glands, a number of basal epithelial cells are draped over each alveolus.
