Stichocyte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stichocyte at the posterior extremity of the oesophagus in Capillaria aerophila. N: nucleus of the posteriormost stichocyte. Bar = 50 µm

Stichocytes are glandular unicellular cells arranged in a row along the posterior portion of the oesophagus, each of which communicates by a single pore with the lumen of the oesophagus. They contain mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, abundant Golgi apparatuses, and usually 1 of 2 types of secretory granules, α-granules and β-granules, indicating secretory function. Collectively stichocytes forms the stichosome. Characteristic of Trichocephalida [1][2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] ,[8] a group of nematodes.
