Simple, tubular mucus-secreting glands (Gl) in the follicular pharyngeal tonsil of S. camelus. The secretion (S) appears to be formed by the release of whole mucus cells from the glandular epithelium. Both a round/cuboidal lymphoepithelium (Le) and ciliated columnar lymphoepithelium (Ce) line the tonsillar crypt (C). Connective tissue (Ct), inter-nodular lymphoid tissue (Ilt), capillaries (Ca), gland duct (D) and basally compressed nucleus of mucus cell (black arrow).
