Distribution of enteroendocrine cell subtypes. Enterochromaffin cells are the most abundant enteroendocrine cell subtype of the colon and rectum. D cells are uncommon although scattered evenly throughout the gastrointestinal tract. L cells are uncommon proximal to the terminal ileum, and their frequency increases from proximal to distal being most concentrated in the rectum.
