Breast | Ductal cells of mammary glands | Nucleus |
Placenta | Cytotrophoblasts* | Nucleus |
Pituitary | Endocrine cells of the anterior lobe | Nucleus and cytoplasm |
Pancreas | Islet of Langerhans and acinar cells | Nucleus and cytoplasm |
Stomach | Epithelial cells of fundic gland | Cytoplasm |
Small intestine | Epithelial cells in the crypt | Cytoplasm |
Colon | Epithelial cells in the crypt | Cytoplasm |
Liver | Hepatocyte around central and portal vein | Cytoplasm |
Kidney | Proximal and distal tubules | Cytoplasm |
Urinary bladder | Urothelial epithelial cells | Cytoplasm |
Testis | Leydig cells, epithelial cell of the epididymis | Cytoplasm |
