|---|---|
| Bottcher's canal | A duct that connects the inner aspect of the utricle with the endolymphatic duct a short distance from its origin from the saccule. Synonym: ductus utriculosaccularis, Bottcher's canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bottcher's crystals | Small crystal's observed microscopically in prostatic fluid that is treated with a drop or two of 1% solution of ammonium phosphate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bottcher's ganglion | Ganglion on the cochlear nerve in the internal acoustic meatus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bottcher's space | The blind pouch at the end of the endolymphatic duct. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Charcot-Bottcher crystalloids | Spindle-shaped crystalloid's 10 to 25 um long, found in human Sertoli cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absorptive cells of intestine | Cell's on the surface of villi of the small intestine and the luminal surface of the large intestine that are characterised by having microvilli on their free surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air cells | Air-containing spaces in the skull. See: pulmonary alveolus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| air cells of auditory tube | Occasional small air cells in the inferior wall of the auditory tube, near the tympanic orifice, communicating with the tympanic cavity. Synonym: cellulae pneumaticae tubae auditivae, air cells of auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Alpha cells | Alpha cell's of pancreas or of anterior lobe of hypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Acidophil cell's that constitute about 35% of the cell's of the anterior lobe. There are two varieties: one that elaborates somatotropin, another that elaborates prolactin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha cells of pancreas | Cell's of the islets of Langerhans that secrete glucagon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amniogenic cells | Cell's from which the amnion develops. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anabiotic cells | Cell's that are capable of resuscitation after apparent death; the existence of anabiotic tumour cell's is postulated to explain the recurrence of a cancer after a very long symptomless period following operation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angioblastic cells | Those cell's in the early embryo from which primitive blood cell's and endothelium develop. (05 Mar 2000) |
