“…In the marine Busycon canaliculatum, three types of mucous cell are identified in the hypobranchial gland, but the relationship between them is not clear (Ronkin 1952). By contrast, in the marine Buccinum undatum, acid mucopolysaccharide and glycoprotein secreting cells are found, and their secretions correlate well with the known chemistry of the hypobranchial gland secretion (Hunt 1973 a).…”

The hypobranchial gland ofMorula gramilata (Duclos) has been morphologically and histochemically characterized. The marginal zones of the gland have mucocytes and eosinophil cells while the median region has in addition ciliated cells and gland cells. Neurosensory cells are also present. Two types of mucous cells have been identified. Type I secrete a diastase-resistant, neutral mucopolysaccharide, while type II secrete PAS unreactive, strongly acidic and highly sulphated mucins. Exposure to low temperatures, ultraviolet rays and irritants resulted in the production of a purple dye.
