| splenic cells | Large round ameboid cell's (macrophages) in the splenic pulp. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Nageotte cells | Cell's found in the cerebrospinal fluid, one or two per cubic millimeter in health, but in greater numbers in various diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous alveolar cells | Highly attentuated squamous cell's that form the gas-permeable epithelium lining the alveoli of the lungs. Synonym: type I cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous cells | Flat cells that look like fish scales; they make up most of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| natural killer cells | Large granular lymphocytes which do not express markers of either T or B-cell lineage. These cells do possess Fc receptors for IgG and can kill target cells using antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. NK cells can also use perforin to kill cells in the absence of antibody. Killing may occur without previous sensitization. Synonym: NK cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stellate cells of cerebral cortex | Small star-shaped cell's in the second and fourth layers of the cortex, and large stellate cell's in the deeper part of the third layer in the visual cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stellate cells of liver | Large star-shaped or pyramidal cells with a large oval nucleus and a small prominent nucleolus. These intensely phagocytic cells line the walls of the sinusoids of the liver and form a part of the reticuloendothelial system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasm circulating cells | Exfoliate neoplastic cells circulating in the blood and associated with metastasizing tumours. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Sternberg cells | Large cells of unknown origin, usually multinucleate, whose presence is the common histologic characteristic of hodgkin disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Sternberg-Reed cells | Large cells of unknown origin, usually multinucleate, whose presence is the common histologic characteristic of hodgkin disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Neumann's cells | Nucleated cell's in the bone marrow developing into red blood cell's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurilemma cells | Neuroglial cells of the peripheral nervous system which form the insulating myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuroepithelial cells | neuroectoderm |
| neuroglia cells | See: neuroglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neurolemma cells | Neuroglial cells of the peripheral nervous system which form the insulating myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. (12 Dec 1998) |
