How are Enteroendocrine Cells Identified in Histological Sections?
Enteroendocrine cells can be identified in histological sections using specific staining techniques. Immunohistochemistry is commonly used to detect the presence of hormone-specific markers. Enteroendocrine cells often exhibit a characteristic triangular shape with the nucleus located at the base and secretory granules concentrated at the apical end. These granules can be visualized using electron microscopy.
