Creation of the central hole of a tube in an anatomical structure through which gases and/or liquids flow. The apoptosis process in which the solid core of the gland is hollowed out to form the duct. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the salivary gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Salivary glands include any of the saliva-secreting exocrine glands of the oral cavity. The process by which the anatomical structures of a gland are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the solid core of salivary epithelium gives rise to the hollow tube of the gland. The process by which the anatomical structures of the salivary gland are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The formation of a lumen by hollowing out a solid rod or cord.
