Abstract
Secretion is a fundamental activity of complex organisms. Some cells are highly specialized in the synthesis and export of secretory products, e.g., the pancreatic exocrine cell, the β cell of the pancreatic islet, the mast cell, the chromaffin cell of the adrenal medulla, the acinar cell of the salivary gland. But the intracellular machinery for secretion appears to exist in all cell types except the erythrocyte.
