Abstract
Morphological differences between secretory cells of human ceruminous glands of the wet and dry types were examined. The height of secretory cells was various, tall, medium or low, in both wet and dry type glands. Differences were observed in the morphologic feature of the tall cells and the cells of medium height between the two type glands. The Golgi apparatus was well developed in the wet type gland. Light granules were frequent in the wet type gland. Apical protrutions were generally large and round and bore “microvilli and the light granules” or “very few microvilli and no light granules” in the tall cells of the wet type gland.
