| diploid | <cell biology, genetics> A cell with a full set of genetic material, consisting of chromosomes in homologous pairs and thus having two copies of each autosomal genetic locus. A diploid cell has one chromosome from each parental set. most animal cells have a diploid set of chromosomes. The diploid human genome has 46 chromosomes. The gametes (eggs and sperm) contain a single set of chromosomes (haploid). Compare: haploid. (10 Nov 1998) |
| diploid nucleus | A nucleus containing the diploid or normal double complement of chromosomes for one somatic cell. (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) |
| anterior cells | The anterior group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales anteriores, anterior cells, anterior sinuses, cellulae anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior ethmoidal air cells | The anterior group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales anteriores, anterior cells, anterior sinuses, cellulae anteriores. (05 Mar 2000) |
