Sentences with phrase «duct cells»
"Duct cells" refers to cells found in the human body that are responsible for creating and transporting fluids. They are typically found in certain organs, like the pancreas or salivary glands, and help in the production and movement of vital fluids such as digestive enzymes or saliva. Full definition
