NCK2-19: normal endomyocardial biopsy (PAS diastase)
Definition: The myocardium is composed primarily of a collection of specialized muscle cells called cardiac myocytes or cardiomyocytes.
They are arranged largely in a circumferential and spiral orientation around the left ventricle, the chamber that pumps blood to the systemic circulation.
Cardiac myocytes have five (...)

Definition: Parietal cells, or oxyntic cells, are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (CCK2 receptors).
The histamine receptors act by increasing intracellular cAMP, whereas the muscarinic and gastrin receptors increase intracellular Ca2+ levels.
Both cAMP and Ca2+ act via protein kinases to increase the transport of acid into the stomach. (...) -

Macrophages exist in almost all animals. In some invertebrates, mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells or fibroblast-like cells can transform into macrophages.
In vertebrates, primitive macrophages first develop in yolk sac hematopoiesis and differentiate into fetal macrophages. Monocytes are differentiated from hematopoietic stem cells in the late stage of fetal (...) -
