| 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) |
| connective tissue cells | The cellular elements of the fibrous and nonfibrous components of the various forms of connective tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pluripotent cells | Primordial cell's that may still differentiate into various specialised types of tissue elements; e.g., mesenchymal cell's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contrasuppressor cells | A subpopulation of T-cells, distinct from T helper cells, which inhibit T suppressor cell function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Corti's 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) |
| myoid cells | Flattened smooth muscle-like cell's of mesodermal origin that lie just outside the basal lamina of the seminiferous tubule. Synonym: peritubular contractile cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior cells | The posterior group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the superior meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales posteriores, cellulae posteriores, posterior cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior ethmoidal air cells | The posterior group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the superior meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales posteriores, cellulae posteriores, posterior cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
