| 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) |
| pineal cells | Cell's of the corpus pineale or pinealocyte. (05 Mar 2000) |
| column cells | Neurons in the gray matter of the spinal cord whose axons are confined within the central nervous system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| white blood cells | White blood cells (WBCs) are cells which circulate in the blood and lymphatic system and harbor in the lymph glands and spleen. They are part of the immune system responsible for both directly (t cells and macrophages) and indirectly (B-cells producing antibodies) attacking foreign invaders of the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| WI-38 cells | The first normal human cells, derived from foetal lung tissue, continuously cultivated. Origin: Wistar Institute (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma cells | Special white blood cells that produce antibodies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mucoalbuminous cells | Glandular cell's intermediate in histologic characteristics between serous and mucous cell's. Synonym: mucoalbuminous cells, seromucous cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mucoserous cells | Glandular cell's intermediate in histologic characteristics between serous and mucous cell's. Synonym: mucoalbuminous cells, seromucous cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Muller's radial cells | Sustentacular neuroglial cells of the retina running through the thickness of the retina from the internal limiting membrane to the bases of the rods and cones where they form a row of junctional complexes. Synonym: Muller's radial cells, sustentacular fibres of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
