acinus

The extracellular matrix is not uniform across the liver acinus.

The term "acinus" is considered synonymous with alveolus by some sources, but not all.

Irregular: various parts of acinus involved.

Each sac (acinus) has one end that can open and close (dilate) to allow the mucus out.

Darker staining cells form acinus connected to exocrine duct.

The distal acinus or alveoli are unchanged.

In prostate cancer, the abnormal cells spread beyond the boundaries of the acinus and form clusters without basal cells.

Examination showed that the serous cells and mucosal cells were aligned in the acinus.

The exocrine pancreas has ducts that are arranged in clusters called acini (singular acinus).

They remain fully contained within a prostate acinus (the berry-shaped termination of a gland, where the secretion is produced) or duct.

Centroacinar cells are an extension of the intercalated duct cells into each pancreatic acinus.

As ducts travel from the acinus which generates the fluid to the target, the ducts become larger and the epithelium becomes thicker.

Centriacinar (or centrilobular) emphysema: The respiratory bronchiole (proximal and central part of the acinus) has expanded.

Each acinus consists of a grape-like mass of lacrimal gland cells with their apices pointed to a central lumen.

An intralobular duct is the portion of an exocrine gland inside a lobule, leading directly from acinus to interlobular duct.

The latter can be demonstrated with special staining techniques (immunohistochemistry for cytokeratins) to identify the basal cells forming the supporting layer of the acinus.

The structure of the Bowman's glands consists of an acinus in the lamina propria and a secretory duct going out through the olfactory epithelium.

Some sources consider "lobar" ducts to be the same as "interlobar ducts", while others consider lobar ducts to be larger and more distal from the acinus.

Pancreatic secretions are secreted into the lumen of the acinus, and then accumulate in intralobular ducts that drain to the main pancreatic duct, which drains directly into the duodenum.

Each lobule consists of a number of Acinus, lined by columnar epithelium, opening into a duct (anatomy) which joins with the ducts of other lobules to form a single excretory duct.

The type of emphysema caused by A1AD is known as panacinar emphysema (involving the entire acinus) as opposed to centrilobular emphysema, which is caused by smoking.

Lastly, both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous stimulation can lead to myoepitheilium contraction which causes the expulsion of secretions from the secretory acinus into the ducts and eventually to the oral cavity.

From a metabolic perspective, the functional unit is the hepatic acinus (terminal acinus), each of which is centered on the line connecting two portal triads and extends outwards to the two adjacent central veins.
