Interstitial Cells of Cajal Subtypes

Anatomical localization of the subtypes of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the human small intestine (SI). Specific types of ICC are indicated in parenthesis.

ICCMY (blue) - prominent and associated with the ganglia of the myenteric plexus region. ICCMY are the primary pacemaker cells in the small intestine, responsible for generation and propagation of electrical slow waves and are rich with mitochondria.
