| Berger cells | Cell's in the hilus of the ovary that produce androgens; they are thought to be the ovarian counterpart of the interstitial cell's of the testis. Synonym: Berger cells. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Betz cells | Large pyramidal cell's in the motor area of the precentral gyrus of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: Bevan-Lewis cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bevan-Lewis cells | Large pyramidal cell's in the motor area of the precentral gyrus of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: Bevan-Lewis cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bizzozero's red cells | Nucleated red blood cells in human blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Boll's cells | Basal cell's in the lacrimal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bone marrow cells | The fat cells (adipocytes), large nucleated cells or myelocytes, and giant cells called megakaryocytes, filling the meshes making up the bone marrow, a meshwork of connective tissue containing branching fibres. (12 Dec 1998) |
| border cells | Cell's forming the inner boundary of the organ of Corti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bottcher's cells | Cell's of the basilar membrane of the cochlea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bowenoid cells | Cells characteristic of Bowen's disease; scattered large, round intraepidermal keratinocytes with a hyperchromatic nucleus and pole cytoplasm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchic cells | One of the thin-walled saclike terminal dilations of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveolar sacs across which gas exchange occurs between alveolar air and the pulmonary capillaries. Synonym: alveoli pulmonis, alveolus, air cells, air vesicles, bronchic cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caco-2 cells | Human colonic adenocarcinoma cells that are able to express differentiation features characteristic of mature intestinal cells, such as enterocytes or mucus cells. These cells are valuable in vitro tools for studies related to intestinal cell function and differentiation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| packed human blood cells | Whole blood from which plasma has been removed; may be prepared any time during the dating period of the whole blood from which it is derived, but not later than six days after the blood has been drawn if separation of plasma and cell's is achieved by centrifugation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pagetoid cells | Atypical melanocytes resembling Paget's cells, found in some cutaneous melanomas of the superficial spreading type. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Paget's cells | Relatively large, neoplastic epithelial cell's (carcinoma cell's) with hyperchromatic nuclei and palely staining cytoplasm; in Paget's disease of the breast, such cell's occur in neoplastic epithelium in the ducts and in the epidermis of the nipple, areola, and adjacent skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglion cells of dorsal spinal root | Pseudounipolar nerve cell bodies in the ganglia of the dorsal spinal nerve roots; the sensory spinal nerves are composed of the peripheral axon branches of these sensory ganglion cell's, whereas the central axon branch of each such cell enters the spinal cord as a component of the dorsal root.
