| 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 cells | Cell's of the basilar membrane of the cochlea. (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) |
| asthma crystals | Crystal's in the shape of elongated double pyramids, formed from eosinophils, found in the sputum in bronchial asthma and in other exudates or transudates containing eosinophils. Synonym: asthma crystals, Charcot-Neumann crystals, Charcot-Robin crystals, Leyden's crystals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biaxial crystals | <microscopy> Anisotropic crystals in the orthorhombic, monoclinic and triclinic systems. They have three principal refractive indices alpha, beta, and gamma, and two isotropic directions, i.e., optic axes. Bifilar eyepiece. An ocular with two crossed hairs, wires, filaments or threads each of which has perpendicular motion. (05 Aug 1998) |
| blood crystals | <haematology> A substance which appears to be identical to the red-orange bile pigment bilirubin, but which is produced from haemoglobin in tissues rather than within the liver and usually when oxygen tension is low. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Virchow's crystals | Yellow-brown, amber, or burnt orange crystal's of haematoidin, frequently observed in extravasated blood in tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Charcot-Leyden crystals | Crystal's in the shape of elongated double pyramids, formed from eosinophils, found in the sputum in bronchial asthma and in other exudates or transudates containing eosinophils. Synonym: asthma crystals, Charcot-Neumann crystals, Charcot-Robin crystals, Leyden's crystals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Charcot-Neumann crystals | Crystal's in the shape of elongated double pyramids, formed from eosinophils, found in the sputum in bronchial asthma and in other exudates or transudates containing eosinophils. Synonym: asthma crystals, Charcot-Neumann crystals, Charcot-Robin crystals, Leyden's crystals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Charcot-Robin crystals | Crystal's in the shape of elongated double pyramids, formed from eosinophils, found in the sputum in bronchial asthma and in other exudates or transudates containing eosinophils.
