| Sertoli cell | <pathology> Tall columnar cells found in the mammalian testis closely associated with developing spermatocytes and spermatids. Probably provide appropriate microenvironment for sperm differentiation and phagocytose degenerate sperm. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Sertoli-cell-only syndrome | <syndrome> The absence from the seminiferous tubules of the testes of germinal epithelium, Sertoli cells alone being present; there is sterility due to azoospermia but no other sexual abnormality, Leydig cells are normal, and the output of gonadotrophins in the urine is increased; probably represents one form of seminiferous tubule dysgenesis. Synonym: Del Castillo syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sertoli cells | Elongated cells in the tubules of the testis to which the spermatids become attached. They provide support, protection, and, apparently, nutrition until the spermatids become transformed into mature spermatozoa. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sertoli cell tumour | A rare benign tumour of the testis that histologically resembles the foetal testis. There are three varieties: diffuse stromal, mixed (stromal and epithelial), and tubular (epithelial). Sertoli cells in the epithelial elements may produce oestrogen and cause feminization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sertoli-leydig cell tumour | An ovarian tumour usually of low-grade malignancy occurring most frequently in the third and fourth decades, with 75% seen in women under 40. It is rare, representing less than .02% of ovarian cancers. The tumour typically produces androgens with virilization being noted in 70-85% of the patients. (holland et al., cancer medicine, 3d ed, p1684) (12 Dec 1998) |
| Sertoli's cells | Elongated cell's in the seminiferous tubules to which spermatids are attached during spermiogenesis; they secrete androgen-binding protein and establish the blood-testis barrier by forming tight junctions with adjacent Sertoli's cell's. Synonym: nurse cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anal columns | A number of vertical ridges in the mucous membrane of the upper half of the anal canal formed as the caliber of the canal is sharply reduced from that of the rectal ampulla. Synonym: columnae anales, Morgagni's columns, rectal columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bertin's columns | The prolongations of cortical substance separating the pyramids of the kidney. Synonym: columnae renales, Bertin's columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vaginal columns | Two slight longitudinal ridges, anterior and posterior, in the vaginal mucous membrane, each marked by a number of transverse mucosal folds. Synonym: columnae rugarum, vaginal columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rectal columns | A number of vertical ridges in the mucous membrane of the upper half of the anal canal formed as the caliber of the canal is sharply reduced from that of the rectal ampulla. Synonym: columnae anales, Morgagni's columns, rectal columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal columns | The prolongations of cortical substance separating the pyramids of the kidney. Synonym: columnae renales, Bertin's columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gray columns | The three somewhat ridge-shaped masses of gray matter (anterior, posterior, and lateral columns) that extend longitudinally through the centre of each lateral half of the spinal cord; in transverse sections these columns appear as gray horns and are therefore commonly called ventral or anterior, dorsal or posterior, and lateral horn, respectively. Synonym: columnae griseae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rugal columns of vagina | Two slight longitudinal ridges, anterior and posterior, in the vaginal mucous membrane, each marked by a number of transverse mucosal folds. Synonym: columnae rugarum, vaginal columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Morgagni's columns | A number of vertical ridges in the mucous membrane of the upper half of the anal canal formed as the caliber of the canal is sharply reduced from that of the rectal ampulla. Synonym: columnae anales, Morgagni's columns, rectal columns. (05 Mar 2000) |
