lens epithelial cell
|
CL_0002224 |
[A cell of the cuboidal epithelium that covers the lens. The cells of the lens epithelium regulate most of the homeostatic functions of the lens. As ions, nutrients, and liquid enter the lens from the aqueous humor, Na+/K+ ATPase pumps in the lens epithelial cells pump ions out of the lens to maintain appropriate lens osmolarity and volume, with equatorially positioned lens epithelium cells contributing most to this current. The activity of the Na+/K+ ATPases keeps water and current flowing through the lens from the poles and exiting through the equatorial regions. The cells of the lens epithelium also serve as the progenitors for new lens fibers. It constantly lays down fibers in the embryo, fetus, infant, and adult, and continues to lay down fibers for lifelong growth.] |
|
secondary lens fiber
|
CL_0002225 |
[A lens fiber cell that develops from primary lens fiber; located towards the center of lens; cell organelles are normally degraded or in the process of being degraded.] |
|
primary lens fiber
|
CL_0002228 |
[An elongating cell that rapidly obliterates the lumen of the lens vesicle. Subsequently, differentiation of this cell type at the lens equator leads to the formation of secondary fiber cells that come to overlie the primary fibers.] |
|
non-nucleated secondary lens fiber
|
CL_0002226 |
[A secondary lens fiber cell that lacks a nucleus.] |
|
nucleated secondary lens fiber
|
CL_0002227 |
[A secondary fiber cell that contains a nucleus.] |
|
keratinized squamous cell of esophagus
|
CL_0002221 |
[A squamous cell that has keratin in the esophagus.] |
|
anterior lens cell
|
CL_0002223 |
[A cell of the transparent layer of simple cuboidal epithelium over the anterior surface of the lens; transform into lens fiber(s).] |
|
vacuolar protein processing
|
GO_0006624 |
[Protein processing that takes place in the vacuole. Most protein processing in the vacuole represents proteolytic cleavage of precursors to form active enzymes.] |
|
light chief cell of parathyroid gland
|
CL_0002229 |
[A chief cell that is bigger than dark chief cells and has a larger and lighter nucleus and a cytoplasm with few granules.] |
|
luminal cell of prostatic acinus
|
CL_0002235 |
[A cell of the luminal layer of the epithelium in the prostatic acinus.] |
|
epithelial cell of prostatic acinus
|
CL_0002233 |
[An epithelial cell of the prostatic acinus.] |
|
basal epithelial cell of prostatic duct
|
CL_0002236 |
[A cell that constitutes the basal layer of epithelium in the prostatic duct.] |
|
luminal epithelial cell of prostatic duct
|
CL_0002237 |
[A cell that constitutes the luminal layer of epithelium of prostatic duct.] |
|
male gonocyte
|
CL_0002238 |
[A primordial germ cell that is destined to become a male germ cell.] |
|
epithelial cell of prostatic duct
|
CL_0002232 |
[An epithelial cell of prostatic duct.] |
|
basal cell of prostatic acinus
|
CL_0002234 |
[A cell of the basal layer of the epithelium in the prostatic acinus.] |
|
CL_0002230
|
CL_0002230 |
|
|
ooblast
|
CL_0002239 |
[A primordial cell from which an oocyte (ovum) ultimately is developed.] |
|
pleural macrophage
|
CL_0002247 |
[A tissue macrophage that is in the pleural space.] |
|
pluripotent stem cell
|
CL_0002248 |
[A pluripotent stem cell has the ability to form cells from all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm). However, unlike totipotent stem cells, they cell can not generate all the cells of the whole organism such as placenta.] |
