Mucous cells secrete products that are rich in glycoproteins and water.

It is the mucous cells which swell after fixation in formaldehyde.

Mucous cells are usually shaped like a cube.

This leads to protein loss, parietal cell atrophy, and an increase in mucous cells.

The mucous cells are the most active and therefore the major product of the submandibular glands is saliva.

Small gap junctions were observed between gastric surface mucous cells in all healthy volunteers.

Morphologically, this barrier is provided principally with tight junctions between gastric surface mucous cells.

It results from profound hyperplasia of the surface mucous cells with accompanying glandular atrophy .

Dr. Saftlas said most breast cancers stemmed from the skin and mucous cells that make up the epithelial tissue.

Mucous cells excrete mucus.

Mucous fluid may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both serous and mucous cells.

A diagnosis of Menetrier disease should be reserved for individuals with large gastric folds due to overgrowth of mucous cells.

Mucous cells secrete mucin which aids in the lubrication of the food bolus as it travels through the esophagus.

The traditional preparation caused mucous cells to swell during fixation which results in the serous cells being popped out of their alignment.

Surface mucous cells line the pits themselves but give way to a series of other types of cells which then line the glands themselves.

Foveolar cells are also known as surface mucous cells or mucous neck cells, depending on the location.

Therefore, we decided to compare gap junctions between gastric surface mucous cells of gastric ulcer patients with those of healthy volunteers.

The large fractured area containing the lateral cell membranes of surface mucous cells was observed and photographed randoly at a direct magnification of x15000.

E. soleae demonstrate host-specific behavior by attaching to the sole epidermis by the presence of sole mucous cells.

Large fractured areas of lateral cell membranes of surface mucous cells were observed randomly at a direct magnification of 15000 using electron microscopy.

The acini of each adenomere are composed of either serous or mucous cells, with serous adenomeres predominating.

Instrumental in the latter is the process of restitution, by which epithelial continuity is re-established by mucous cells emigrating from the gastric pits.

The way that the stomach achieves this is by secreting mucin and bicarbonate via its mucous cells, and also by having a rapid cell turn-over.

To prevent these disastrous effects, mucus and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) are secreted by the foveolar cells (also known as mucous cells).

In conclusion, using the freeze fracture method, we have shown significantly fewer gap junctions between gastric surface mucous cells in ulcer patients than in healthy volunteers.
