|---|---|
| vero cells | A cell line derived from the kidney of the african green (vervet) monkey, cercopithecus aethiops; used primarily in virus replication studies and plaque assays. (12 Dec 1998) |
| germ cells | The reproductive cells in multicellular organisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parietal cells, gastric | Cells of the gastric glands which secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mastoid air cells | Numerous small intercommunicating cavities in the mastoid process of the temporal bone that empty into the mastoid or tympanic antrum. Synonym: cellulae mastoideae, mastoid cells, mastoid sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid cells | Numerous small intercommunicating cavities in the mastoid process of the temporal bone that empty into the mastoid or tympanic antrum. Synonym: cellulae mastoideae, mastoid cells, mastoid sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gierke cells | Small cells characteristic of the substantia gelatinosa (lamina II) of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestibular hair cells | Cell's in the sensory epithelium of the maculae and cristae of the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear; afferent and efferent nerve fibres of the vestibular nerve end synaptically upon them; from the apical end of each cell a bundle of stereocilia and a kinocilium extend into the statoconial membrane of the maculae and the cupula of the cristae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| castration cells | Altered basophilic cells of the anterior lobe of the pituitary that develop following castration; the body of the cell is occupied by a large vacuole that displaces the nucleus to the periphery, giving the cell a resemblance to a signet ring. Synonym: signet ring cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Reed cells | Large cells of unknown origin, usually multinucleate, whose presence is the common histologic characteristic of hodgkin disease. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Virchow's cells | The lacunae in osseous tissue containing the bone cell's; also the bone cell's themselves. Synonym: corneal corpuscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glitter cells | Polymorphonuclear leukocytes that stain pale blue with gentian violet and contain cytoplasmic granules that exhibit brownian movement; observed in urine sediment and characteristic of pyelonephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visual receptor cells | The rod and cone cell's of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pc12 cells | A cell line derived from a pheochromocytoma of the rat adrenal medulla. Pc12 cells stop dividing and undergo terminal differentiation when treated with nerve growth factor, making the line a useful model system for neuronal differentiation. (12 Dec 1998) |
