21metallophil cells — cells in which the cytoplasm has a great affinity for metal salts; these are cells of the reticuloendothelial system, and also a series of related cells that are not selectively stained by vital staining …
22Sertoli cells — cells found in the walls of the seminiferous tubules of the testis. Compared with the germ cells they appear large and pale. They anchor and probably nourish the developing germ cells, especially the spermatids, which become partly embedded… …
23B cells of pancreas — Cells within discrete endocrine islands (Islets of Langerhans) embedded in the major exocrine tissue of vertebrate pancreas. The B or b cells (originally distinguished by differential staining from A, C and D), are responsible for synthesis and… …
24deep cells — Cells (blastomeres) in the teleost blastula that lie between the outer cell layer and the yolk syncytial layer, and are the cells from which the embryo proper is constructed during gastrulation; much studied in the fish, Fundulus …
25M cells — Cells found amongst the other cells of the cuboidal surface epithelium of gut associated lymphoid tissue; have a complex folded surface …
26mesangial cells — Cells found within the glomerular lobules of mammalian kidney, where they serve as structural supports, may regulate blood flow, are phagocytic, and may act as accessory cells, presenting antigen in immune responses …
27prespore cells — Cells in the rear portion of the migrating slug (grex) of a cellular slime mould, which will later differentiate into spore cells. Can be recognized as having different proteins by immunocytochemical methods. See also Acrasidae …
28prestalk cells — Cells at the front of the migrating grex of cellular slime moulds that will form the stalk upon which the sorocarp containing the spores is borne. See prespore cells …
29secretory cells — Cells specialized for secretion, usually epithelial. Those that secrete proteins characteristically have well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, whereas conspicuous smooth endoplasmic reticulum is typical of cells that secrete lipid or lipid… …
30contrasuppressor cells — cells that augment the immune response by suppressing the activity of other suppressor cells, or by rendering the reactive cell unresponsive to suppression …
