ABSTRACT
A study of human eccrine sweat glands by electron spectroscopic imaging has been performed. A high nitrogen content in secretory granules of the dark mucous cells has been found while mucous cells in the digestive or respiratory systems did not contain nitrogen detectable in our experimental conditions. High concentrations of nitrogen were found in zymogenic granules and in the core of the granules in the eosinophilic leucocytes. Our findings seem to suggest that the granules of the dark secretory cells are composed not only of mucoid substances but contain also high concentrations of proteins. The descriptive term "granulated cells" seems to be more correct than "mucous cells" to indicate these elements.
