Question
Chapter 21.4, Problem 11CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way through which mucin, amylase, and immunoglobins move from epithelial cells of salivary gland to the lumen of the gland.
Introduction: Exocytosis is a process of transportation of cell materials out of the cell. It is an energy-dependent process and involves secretions produced by secretory cells of the epithelium. Epithelial cells of salivary glands contain secretory cells which produce proteins important for digestion of food.
