title: The distribution of endocrine-like cells in the human male and female urethral epithelium.
abstract: Histochemical and electron microscopic techniques have been used to study the nature and distribution of fluorescent, endocrine-like cells in the urethra of the human male and female. The confinement of such cells to specific regions of the urethra is discussed in relation to the embryological development of this part of the urinary tract.
