A study of the 'antecubital organ' of the slow loris (Nycticebus coucang coucang), was undertaken in light and electron microscopes. As distinct from other prosimian primates there is a complete absence of interstitial cells in the gland suggesting its different functional role. The acinar cells in the 'antecubital organ', of slow loris contain large number of smooth ER and electron-dense secretory granules. The granules are seen both in the apical region of the cells as well as in their basal cytoplasmic processes. Some of these processes appear to terminate close to a blood capillary. The structural features of the 'antecubital organs' of slow loris suggest that it is a mixed gland of both exocrine and endocrine nature.
对懒猴（蜂猴指名亚种）的“肘前器官”进行了光镜和电镜研究。与其他原猴亚目灵长类动物不同，该腺体中完全没有间质细胞，这表明其功能作用不同。懒猴“肘前器官”的腺泡细胞含有大量滑面内质网和电子致密的分泌颗粒。这些颗粒可见于细胞顶端区域及其基部细胞质突起中。其中一些突起似乎终止于靠近毛细血管处。懒猴“肘前器官”的结构特征表明它是一种兼具外分泌和内分泌性质的混合腺。
