APUD is
Amino-Precursor-Uptake-Decarboxylase
Epith neuroendocrine cells of pulmonary neuroendocrine
DNES cells
Diffuse Neuro Endocrine System
Epith neuroendocrine cells of PNE
Kulchitsky cells
Cells of epith neuroendocrine cells of PNE
PNE cells
- APUD
- DNES cells
- K cells
Bronchial metastatic tumor arrises from
Kulchitsky cells
Clara cells secrete
Serous solution similar to surfactant
Job of Clara cells
- Detoxification of airborne toxins
- Stem cells for ciliated cells
Type 2 pneumocytes serve as
Stem cells for themselves and type 1 cells
What induces fetal synthesis of surfactant
Corticosteroids
