Label	Id	Description
Hominidae	NCBITaxon_9604
cardiac mesenchymal cell	CL_0000569	[A mesenchymal cell found in the developing heart and that develops into some part of the heart. These cells derive from intra- and extra-cardiac sources, including the endocardium, epicardium, neural crest, and second heart field.]
mesenchymal cell	CL_0008019	[A non-polarised cell precursor cell that is part of some mesenchyme, is associated with the cell matrix but is not connected to other cells and is capable of migration.]
amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation cell	CL_0000568	[A cell that originates in the neural crest, that has certain cytochemical and ultrastructural characteristics and is found scattered throughout the body; types include melanocytes, the cells of the chromaffin system, and cells in the hypothalamus, hypophysis, thyroid, parathyroids, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and pancreas. This cell type concentrates the amino acid precursors of certain amines and decarboxylate them, forming amines that function as regulators and neurotransmitters. This cell type produces substances such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, enkephalin, somatostatin, neurotensin, and substance P, the actions of which may affect contiguous cells, nearby groups of cells, or distant cells, thus functioning as local or systemic hormones. The name is an acronym for amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation cell.]
neuroendocrine cell	CL_0000165	[An endocrine cell that has the specialized function to produce and secrete hormones in response to neuronal signals.]
polymodal nocireceptor	CL_0000567
retinal cone cell	CL_0000573	[One of the two photoreceptor cell types in the vertebrate retina. In cones the photopigment is in invaginations of the cell membrane of the outer segment. Cones are less sensitive to light than rods, but they provide vision with higher spatial and temporal acuity, and the combination of signals from cones with different pigments allows color vision.]
camera-type eye photoreceptor cell	CL_0010009
retinal progenitor cell	CL_0002672	[A multi-fate stem cell that can give rise to different retinal cell types including rod and cone cells.]
pronephric nephron tubule	UBERON_0005310	[The pronephric nephron tubule is an epithelial tube that is part of the pronephric nephron and connects the filtration unit (glomerulus or glomus) of the pronephros to the pronephric duct[GO].]
nephron tubule	UBERON_0001231	[An epithelial tube that is part of the nephron, the functional part of the kidney.]
pronephric nephron	UBERON_0005309	[A pronephric nephron is the functional unit of the pronephros[GO].]
Ccr4 (mouse)	MGI:107824	[A protein coding gene Ccr4 in mouse.]
posterior lateral line ganglion	UBERON_2001314	[The posterior lateral line ganglion develops from a cranial ectodermal placode and contains sensory neurons that innervate the posterior lateral line system.]
lateral line ganglion	UBERON_2000120	[Ganglion that develops from a cranial ectodermal placode and contains sensory neurons that innervate a lateral line.]
posterior lateral line placode	UBERON_2001156
leucophore	CL_0000571	[A pigment cell derived from the neural crest. Contains uric acid or other purine crystals deposited in stacks called leucosomes. The crystals reflect light and this gives a white appearance under white light.]
pigment cell	CL_0000147	[A pigment cell is a cell that contains pigment granules.]
leucoblast	CL_0005003	[A non-terminally differentiated cell that originates from the neural crest and differentiates into a leucophore.]
parafollicular cell	CL_0000570	[A neuroepithelial cells that occurs singly or in small groups, close to the outer follicular borders but within the follicular basement membrane of the thyroid. Expresses a form of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) on their surface. Secretes calcitonin, 5-hydroxytryptamine and dopamine.]
