| 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.

| photoreceptor cells | Rod and cone cell's of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clone cells | A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mitral cells | Large nerve cell's in the olfactory lobe of the brain whose dendrites synapse (in glomeruli) with axons of the olfactory receptor cell's of the nasal mucous membrane, and whose axons pass centrally in the olfactory tract to the olfactory cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochlear hair cells | Sensory cell's in the organ of Corti in synaptic contact with sensory as well as efferent fibres of the cochlear (auditory) nerve; from the apical end of each cell about 100 stereocilia extend from the surface and make contact with the tectorial membrane. Synonym: Corti's cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Warthin-Finkeldey cells | Giant cell's with multiple overlapping nuclei, found in lymphoid tissue in measles, especially during the prodromal stage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigment cells of iris | Cell's of the stromal layer of the iris; in dark eyes (but not in blue) they contain granules of pigment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigment cells of retina | Cell's in the outermost layer of the retina that contain pigment granules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pillar cells | Cell's forming the outer and inner walls of the tunnel in the organ of Corti. Synonym: Corti's pillars, Corti's rods, pillar cells of Corti, tunnel cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pillar cells of Corti | Cell's forming the outer and inner walls of the tunnel in the organ of Corti. Synonym: Corti's pillars, Corti's rods, pillar cells of Corti, tunnel cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
