excretory duct cell of salivary gland
excretory duct cell of salivary gland
A duct epithelial cell that is part of the excretory duct of the salivary gland, which transports saliva from the intralobular ductal system to the oral cavity. While primarily serving as a conduit, this cell may play a role in the saliva modification, contributing to its hypotonicity. In humans, this cell has a pseudostratified columnar shape.
