KROK 1 2009 – Question 192 · KROK (Medicine) · Histology, Cytology, and Embryology
A microspecimen of the submandibular salivary gland shows some basket-shaped cells concentrated around the acines and excretory ducts. These cells surround bases of the serous cells and are called myoepitheliocytes. These cells relate to the following tissue:
- A. Special connective tissue
- B. Neural tissue
- C. Loose fibrous connective tissue
- D. Muscular tissue
- E. Epithelial tissue
Hint
Consider both where these basket cells come from embryologically and what specialised function they perform, then decide which tissue classification they are assigned to.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
