  • Title: Ultrastructure of normal human parotid gland with special emphasis on myoepithelial distribution.
    Author: Chaudhry AP, Cutler LS, Yamane GM, Labay GR, Sunderraj M, Manak JR.
    Journal: J Anat; 1987 Jun; 152():1-11. PubMed ID: 2820911.
    Abstract:
    The myoepithelium in human parotid, unlike that in other species, is not limited to the acinar-intercalated ductal system but extends to the intra- and extralobular striated ducts. Myoepithelial cells of the striated ducts are smaller, fewer, and different in shape but they are similar in their relationships and ultrastructural morphology to the acinar-intercalated system. Distribution of myoepithelium is discussed with respect to its role and participation in the histogenesis of salivary gland tumours, especially those of intermediate and large duct cell origin.
