| Comments |
Unlike most endocrine organs where endocrine cells are the
predominant cell type, enteroendocrine cells account for less
than 1% of the epithelial cells lining the stomach, small
intestine and colon and are scattered diffusely as individual
cells throughout the mucosa (primary source). |
