The number of cycles per second (Hertz) (abbreviated as, hz) of anything that oscillates is called the frequency. The electricity of an AC wall outlet is said to have a frequency of 60 Hertz as it cycles negative then positive 60 times each second. Sound is an oscillating wave, but it has a broad range of frequencies. A low frequency sound (say, 50 hz) might sound like a low rumble, while a high frequency sound (say 12,000 hz), might sound more like a sizzle. A person with normal hearing can hear all the way up to about 20,000 hz.

Cells which are specialized to secrete mucus are called mucous cells. Examples include secretory cells of the salivary glands, esophageal glands, stomach surface, pyloric glands, and Brunner's glands of the duodenum.These cells are typically organized into tubular secretory units.erous cells of the pancreas and the salivary glands are typically organized into secretory units called acini. In routine light microscopy, serous cells are distinguished by basophilic basal cytoplasm, a centrally-located nucleus, and variously-staining secretory vesicles (zymogen granules) in apical cytoplasm.
