Sialome refers to the set of mRNA and proteins expressed in these structures, especially those of blood-sucking organisms. One of these is drained by the ducts of Rivinus and ducts of Bartholin to a namesake carbuncle. Hydrolysis of a certain macronutrient in humans is initiated by one type of these, which secretes a serum into the circumvallate papillae. Those are known as Von Ebner's glands, and are innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve. Polytene chromosomes were first discovered in Drosophila in cells contained in these structures.  Sjogren's disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages these and prevents usage of Stensen's duct, which releases a serous fluid that contains a protein that converts starches into maltose. For 10 points, an amylase that produces disaccharides is the product of these glands of
