Human anatomy, including structure and development and practical considerations . Mucous cells Demilune Section of human sublinj^ual ^and, showing serous cells arranged as demi-lunes.

In aclclition to the main .iheolar lumina, always narrow in serous and wider inmucous acini, the existiMue of intercellular ])assames, or secretion-capillaries, has beenestablished ft)r many glands, especially by the employment of the Golgi and otherspecial methods. These clefts penetrate laterally be-twet n the j>landular ej)ithelium from the axial lumen ^^ towards the basement membrane, partially enclosingthe secreting cells with a branching system of minutecanals. AKeoli containing exclusi\ely mucous cellsdo not possess these intercellular canaliculi, the axiallumen alone being present. In acini of the seroustyi)e the accessory channels are represented by minutebranching i)assages which penetrate between the cells,but seldom reach the basement membrane. The mostconspicuous of the secretion-capillaries occur in alve-oli containing the demilunes, the
