All terms in CL

Label	Id	Description
calcitonin secreting cell	CL_0000443
serotonin secreting cell	CL_0000458	[A cell type that secretes 5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin).]
dopamine secretion	GO_0014046	[The regulated release of dopamine by a cell. Dopamine is a catecholamine and a precursor of adrenaline and noradrenaline. It acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system but it is also produced peripherally and acts as a hormone.]
anterior lateral line placode	UBERON_2001316	[Dorsolateral placode that gives rise to the anterior lateral line.]
dorsolateral placode	UBERON_0003067	[Lateral neurogenic placodes positioned dorsal of the epibranchial placodes.]
anterior lateral line system	UBERON_2001468	[The anterior lateral line system develops from cranial ectodermal placodes, situated between the eye and the ear, that give rise to both the neuromasts and the anterior lateral line sensory nerves that innervate the neuromasts. The anterior lateral line system consists of small sensory patches (neuromasts) located superficially on the skin or just under the skin in fluid-filled canals on the head of all fishes and most amphibians and are innervated by several lateral line nerves, which project to the hindbrain. The anterior lateral line system is stimulated by local water displacements and vibrations, and detects propulsion of the fish through the water, as well as facilitating shoaling, prey capture, and predator and obstacle avoidance.]
type EC enteroendocrine cell	CL_0000577	[A subtype of enteroendocrine cells found in the gastrointestinal mucosa, particularly in the glands of pyloric antrum; duodenum; and ileum. These cell type secretes serotonin and some neurotransmitters including enkephalins and substance P. Their secretory granules stain readily with silver (argentaffin stain).]
chromaffin cell	CL_0000166	[A cell that stores epinephrine secretory vesicles. During times of stress, the nervous system signals the vesicles to secrete their hormonal content. Their name derives from their ability to stain a brownish color with chromic salts. Characteristically, they are located in the adrenal medulla and paraganglia of the sympathetic nervous system.]
epithelial cell of alimentary canal	CL_0002251	[An epithelial cell of the musculomembranous digestive tube extending from the mouth to the anus.]
gastrointestinal system mucosa	UBERON_0004786	[A mucosa that is part of a gastrointestinal system.]
monocyte	CL_0000576	[Myeloid mononuclear recirculating leukocyte that can act as a precursor of tissue macrophages, osteoclasts and some populations of tissue dendritic cells.]
myeloid leukocyte	CL_0000766	[A cell of the monocyte, granulocyte, or mast cell lineage.]
mononuclear cell	CL_0000842	[A leukocyte with a single non-segmented nucleus in the mature form.]
osteoclast differentiation	GO_0030316	[The process in which a relatively unspecialized monocyte acquires the specialized features of an osteoclast. An osteoclast is a specialized phagocytic cell associated with the absorption and removal of the mineralized matrix of bone tissue.]
myeloid dendritic cell differentiation	GO_0043011	[The process in which a monocyte acquires the specialized features of a dendritic cell, an immunocompetent cell of the lymphoid and hemopoietic systems and skin.]
corneal epithelial cell	CL_0000575	[An epithelial cell of the cornea.]
general ecto-epithelial cell	CL_0002159	[Epithelial cells derived from general body ectoderm and ectoderm placodes.]
squamous epithelial cell	CL_0000076
erythrophore	CL_0000574	[A pigment cell derived from the neural crest. Contains pteridine and/or carotenoid pigments in structures called pterinosomes or erythrosomes. This gives an orange to red appearance.]
pigment erythroblast	CL_0005004	[A non-terminally differentiated cell that originates from the neural crest and differentiates into an erythrophore.]
