chromaffin cell

More recently, the technique has been used to study exocytosis in chromaffin cells.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare disease where the tumor forms in the chromaffin cells of the body.

The tumors are made up of large, polyhedral, pleomorphic chromaffin cells.

Chromaffin cells are also called pheochromocytes.

Further work was done in chromaffin cells to investigate catecholamine release from large dense core vesicles.

The largest extra-adrenal cluster of chromaffin cells in mammals is the organ of Zuckerkandl.

Some believe that chromaffin cells are modified postganglionic CNS fibers.

Chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla.

In lower concentrations, extra-adrenal chromaffin cells also reside in the bladder wall, prostate, and behind the liver.

Chromaffin paragangliomas are issued from chromaffin cells, and are known as pheochromocytomas.

Chromaffin cells are responsible for releasing the catecholamines (norepinephrine and epinephrine) into systemic circulation.

VMAT2 is also co-expressed in chromaffin cells.

Most chromaffin cells are found in the adrenal gland's inner layer, which is known as the adrenal medulla.

An example of vesicle fusion in chromaffin cells using IRM is shown in movie 1.

Pheochromocytoma is a tumor of special cells that arises inside the "adrenal glands' chromaffin cells".

Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma characteristically form small nests of uniform polygonal chromaffin cells ("zellballen").

Chromaffin cells also settle near the sympathetic ganglia, vagus nerve, paraganglia, and carotid arteries.

Paraganglia are clusters of either chromaffin cells of glomus cells near sympathetic ganglia.

Innervated by sympathetic nervous system, chromaffin cells are important in the initiation of the fight or flight response of animals when exposed to threatening stimuli.

Another population of chromaffin cells is found only in the stomach wall, called enterochromaffin-like cells (ECL).

When imaged using DIC, chromaffin cells appear as round cells with small protrusions.

Work in bovine chromaffin cells demonstrated that NCS-1 is also a modulator of neurotransmission in mammals.

Because the ANS, specifically the sympathetic division, exerts direct control over the chromaffin cells the hormone release can occur rather quickly.

In humans, there are chromaffin cells in the adrenal glands (medulla) that get stimulated through the sympathetic nervous system during a stress response.
