Oral Cavity & Esophagus

Question 2 - Single Best Answer

Identify the structure surrounded by the dots:

E) mucous gland

Sorry...
Mucous-secreting glands have acinar cells which stain very lightly due to the loss of stored mucinogen granules. In contrast to the round and centrally located nuclei of serous acinar cells, mucous-secreting acinar cells have flattened nuclei located at their basilar surface.
