Mar 22, 2023 · Enterochromaffin (EC) cells, a unique subtype of enteroendocrine cells, detect environmental and endogenous stimuli capable of eliciting or exacerbating pain, including dietary irritants ...
Jun 25, 2013 · Serotonin released from enterochromaffin cells is an important activator of these reflex-mediated secretory responses. 77,91,92 Mechanical stimulation of the mucosal surface leads to 5-HT release, ...
Nov 1, 2006 · Although the enterochromaffin (EC) cell is one of the primary neuroendocrine regulatory cells of the small intestine, the lack of a purified cell system has precluded characterization of the cell and limited precise physiological evaluation. We developed methodology to obtain a pure population of Mastomys ileal EC cells, evaluated their functional regulation, and defined the transcriptome ...
Nov 25, 2022 · Enterochromaffin (EC)-Cell, Fig. 1. ( a) This ileal EC-cell is identifiable in a hematoxylin-eosin-stained slide thanks to its bright red granular cytoplasm, its pyramidal shape, and its inverted polarity (see text). All EC-cells are positive for serotonin ( b ), whereas a subset may be positive for substance P ( c ).
Células tipo-enterocromafim ou células ECL são um tipo de célula neuroendócrina encontrado nas glândulas da mucosa gástrica abaixo do epitélio estomacal, em particular ao redor de células parietais. Essas células auxiliam na produção de ácido gástrico através da liberação de histamina. Elas são consideradas um tipo de célula ...
enterochromaffin cell. Abbreviation: EC cell. An enteroendocrine cell that produces serotonin and is found in the small intestine. Enterochromaffin cells are very similar to the cells, found throughout the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, that are called simply 'chromaffin cells'. See also: cell.
Foveolar cell. Microscopic section of gastric mucosa. Foveolar cells can be seen at top of the image lining the surface and pits. Foveolar cells or surface mucous [1] [a] cells are mucus -producing cells which cover the inside of the stomach, protecting it from the corrosive nature of gastric acid. These cells line the gastric mucosa ( mucous ...
