1. The secretory acinar cells of the submandibular gland have distinct functions. 2. Congenital alveolar dysplasia and congenital acinar dysplasia are with unknown cause. 3. In pancreatic acinar tissue, these subunits were found in zymogen granules. 4. Acinar adenocarcinoma of the lung is a highly lethal disease.5. Exocrine cells constitute the acinar cells and the ductal cells. 6. Parasympathetic stimulation leads to acetylcholine ( ACh ) release onto the salivary acinar cells. 7. Congenital acinar dysplasia is due to lung growth arrest in pseudoglandular or early canalicular phase. 8. In the pancreas, cytochrome-c was also found in condensing vacuoles and in the acinar lumen. 9. While radiation kills cancerous cells, it also destroys saliva-producing acinar cells in the area receiving treatment. 10. Some sources draw a clear distinction between acinar and alveolar glands, based upon the size of the lumen.
