Myoepithelial cells are smooth muscle like cells having epithelial origin. They are present in salivary glands, mammary gland, sweat gland and lacrimal gland. Myoepithelial cells are stellate or spindle shaped with 4 to 8 cytoplasmic processes. They play vital role during expulsion of saliva and regulates the electrolytic exchange. They also act as tumor suppressor and are considered very impor...
