What does ACINAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to or resembling an acinus, the small sac-like structure found in certain glands and in parts of the lung.
Pathologists describe glandular tissue as acinar when its cells are arranged in tiny clustered sacs, the pattern typical of glands such as the pancreas and salivary glands. Lung specialists use the same word for the region of tissue supplied by a single terminal bronchiole, since it shares the same clustered, sac-like arrangement. The adjective is built directly from the noun acinus.
