Abstract
The two step theory of exocrine secretion predicts that the ionic composition of the primary secretion is modified while flowing through the duct system. The transport functions and the regulatory role of the main duct of the salivary gland (Young et al., 1987) and exocrine pancreas (Argent et al. 1986) have been clearly demonstrated. On the other hand, very little is known about the transport functions of the duct cells of the lacrimal gland.
