KROK 1 Stomatology 2014 – Question 144 · KROK (Dentistry)
A histological specimen of submandibular salivary gland represents basket cells from which some processes radiate and embrace the secretory unit.

- A. Adipocytes
- B. Epithelial cells
- C. Mucocytes
- D. Myoepithelial cells
- E. Serous cells
Hint
Ask which cells of the end piece can actually contract, and where they lie relative to the basement membrane and the secretory cells.
