Subject Myoepithelial cells; Skin; sweat glands
Description In selected areas of the body, such as the axilla, specialized sweat glands release an apocrine secretion via conventional exocytosis not via the method in which part of the apical cytoplasm is lost.Their ducts open into hair shafts. The secretory cells of these sweat glands are simple cuboidal to low columnar in nature. They have apical cytoplasmic blebs. Note the fibroblasts of the surrounding connective tissue. Myoepithelial cells can be found located between the secretory cells and the basal lamina. UCLA Histology Collection.
