striated duct is a gland duct which connects an intercalated duct to an interlobular duct. It is characterized by its folded membrane.[1] [2]

Their epithelium can be simple cuboidal or simple columnar.[3]

Striated ducts are part of the intralobular ducts.

They are found in the submandibular gland[4][5] and the parotid gland.[6]

They are not present in pancreas.
