Animal cells

A myofibroblast is a cell that is in between a fibroblast and a smooth muscle cell in phenotype.

Chondrocytes (from Greek χόνδρος, chondros = cartilage + κύτος, kytos = cell) are the only cells found in healthy cartilage.

Club cells, also known as bronchiolar exocrine cells, and originally known as Clara cells (see nomenclature section), are dome-shaped cells with short microvilli, found in the small airways (bronchioles) of the lungs.

Parietal cells (also known as oxyntic or delomorphous cells), are the epithelial cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor.

Extraglomerular mesangial cells (also known as Lacis cells, Goormaghtigh cells, or Polkissen cells) are light-staining pericytes in the kidney found outside the glomerulus, near the vascular pole.

A hepatocyte is a cell of the main parenchymal tissue of the liver.

Pericytes are contractile cells that wrap around the endothelial cells of capillaries and venules throughout the body.

A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue.

Microfold cells (or M cells) are found in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) of the Peyer's patches and in the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of other parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

Ameloblasts are cells present only during tooth development that deposit tooth enamel, which is the hard outermost layer of the tooth forming the surface of the crown.

Enteroendocrine cells are specialized cells of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas with endocrine function.
