The posterior portion of the esophageal gland of Schistosoma mansoni produces a granule that is highly structured internally. Each granule consists of arrays of membrane-bound tubules enclosed by a membrane. Cytochemical tests indicate that the granules are not reactive for cytochrome c-oxidase but du react for macromolecular carbohydrates. It is believed that the granules are synthesized in the Golgi complex and are secreted at the base of the luminal amplifications of the esophagus. Colchicine treatment results in an accumulation of granules in the cyton region. Their physiological function is still undetermined, but it is hypothesized that they are involved with early stages of digestion of host red blood cells.
曼氏血吸虫食管腺的后部产生一种内部结构高度有序的颗粒。每个颗粒由被膜包围的膜结合小管阵列组成。细胞化学测试表明，这些颗粒对细胞色素c氧化酶无反应，但对大分子碳水化合物有反应。据信这些颗粒是在高尔基体中合成的，并在食管管腔扩大部的基部分泌。秋水仙碱处理导致颗粒在胞体区域积累。它们的生理功能仍未确定，但据推测它们参与宿主红细胞消化的早期阶段。
