| Rieder cells | Abnormal myeloblasts (12 to 20 um in diameter) in which the nucleus may be widely and deeply indented (i.e., suggestive of lobulation), or may actually be a bi-or multi-lobate structure; such cell's are frequently observed in acute leukaemia, and probably represent a more rapid maturation of the nucleus than that of the cytoplasm.

| cho cells | Cell line derived from the ovary of the chinese hamster, cricetulus griseus. The species is a favourite for cytogenetic studies because of its small chromosome number. The cell line has provided model systems for the study of genetic alterations in cultured mammalian cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Rindfleisch's cells | An obsolete eponym for eosinophilic leukocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gustatory cells | Darkly staining cell's in a taste bud that appear to have extending into the gustatory pore long hair-like microvilli containing a number of closely packed microtubules; the taste cell's stand in synaptic contact with sensory nerve fibres of the facial, glossopharyngeal, or vagus nerves. Synonym: gustatory cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rolando's cells | The nerve cell's in Rolando's gelatinous substance of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromaffin cells | Cells that store epinephrine secretory vesicles. During times of stress, the nervous system signals the vesicles to secrete their hormonal content. Their name derives from their ability to stain a brownish colour with chromic salts. Characteristically, they are located in the adrenal medulla and paraganglia (paraganglia, chromaffin) of the sympathetic nervous system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chromophobe cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Cell's of the adenohypophysis that are devoid of specific acidophilic or basophilic granules when stained with common differential stains. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rosette-forming cells | T lymphocytes with an affinity for sheep erythrocytes and which, when suspended in serum, bind the uncoated, nonsensitised erythrocytes in a rosette formation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| microglia cells | <pathology> A part of the neuroglia. It consists of small glial cells which migrate through nerve tissue and remove waste products by phagocytosis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| middle cells | The middle group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales mediae, cellulae mediae, middle cells, middle ethmoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle ethmoidal air cells | The middle group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales mediae, cellulae mediae, middle cells, middle ethmoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| midget bipolar cells | Bipolar cell's in the inner nuclear layer of the retina that synapse with individual cone cell's in the outer plexiform layer; other larger bipolar cell's in the inner nuclear layer synapse with both rod and cone cell's; the axons of both types synapse in the inner plexiform layer with the dendrites of the ganglion cell's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mikulicz' cells | Foamy macrophages containing Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis; found in the mucosal nodules in rhinoscleroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Clarke cells | Large multipolar cells characteristic of the thoracic nucleus (Clarke's nucleus in lamina VII) of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Claudius' cells | Columnar cell's on the floor of the ductus cochlearis external to the organ of Corti. (05 Mar 2000) |
