We have established the fact that the chrome reaction as well as the silver and osmium reactions are merely reductions by adrenalin. In our opinion the naming of the cells giving a positive reaction should not be based upon the reaction i.e., chromaffin cells), but on the presence of adrenalin itself. Biedl's terms, adrenal cell, adrenal organ, adrenal body, adrenal system, and also Bonnamour's term, adrenalin-producing cells, are appropriate in this respect. We propose the names adrenalin cell, adrenalin tissue, adrenalin system, thereby indicating the presence of adrenalin.
我们已经确定了这样一个事实，即铬反应以及银和锇反应仅仅是肾上腺素的还原反应。在我们看来，给出阳性反应的细胞的命名不应基于反应（即嗜铬细胞），而应基于肾上腺素本身的存在。在这方面，Biedl 的术语，肾上腺细胞、肾上腺器官、肾上腺体、肾上腺系统，以及 Bonnamour 的术语，产生肾上腺素的细胞，是合适的。我们提出了肾上腺素细胞、肾上腺素组织、肾上腺素系统的名称，从而表明了肾上腺素的存在。
