272: 37: 263:. Myoepithelial cells are stellate in shape and are also known as basket cells. They lie between the basement membrane and glandular epithelium. Each cell consists of a cell body from which 4-8 processes radiate and embrace the secretory unit. Myoepithelial cells have contractile functions. They help in expelling secretions from the lumen of secretory units and facilitate the movement of saliva in salivary ducts. 809: 463: 94: 434: 335: 418: 456: 299: 449: 850: 365: 316: 600: 296:- A low-grade malignant tumor composed of both neoplastic epithelial and neoplastic myoepithelial cells (a biphasic tumor). 287: 293: 305: 302:- A malignant tumor composed of both epithelial and myoepithelial tissues whose pathology resemble salivary cells. 409: 580: 573: 566: 17: 392: 315:
