Large cell is a term used in oncology . It does not refer to a particular type of cell rather it refers to cells that are larger than would be normally expected for that type. It is frequently used when describing lymphoma and lung cancer . It was more frequently used in the past than it is used today, when doctors often could tell little about a cell other than its size, and it was used for classification systems such as the Working Formulation for lymphoma. As such, the term lives on in the names of many conditions, even when the size of the cell is no longer one of the most important diagnostic criteria. The phrase giant cell is also frequently used, especially with carcinoma . Giant cell tumors include giant cell tumor of bone and giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath . ref MeshName Giant Cell Tumors ref See also nosology anaplastic large cell lymphoma References reflist External links http www.mayoclinic.com health cancer AN00654 FORCESSL false& Overview at Mayo Clinic http chemo.net large.htm Large Cell and Giant Cell MeshName Carcinoma, Giant Cell Category Diseases and disorders disease stub de Riesenzelle ... more details

Unreferenced date November 2008 A cell church is a Christian Church Christian church structure centering on the regular gathering of cell group s. Small group ministries are often called cell groups, but may also be called home groups, home friendship groups, home care groups, house fellowships, or life groups. A church with cell groups is not necessarily a cell church. A cell church must be composed of cell groups and centered around them. In cell churches, a cell leader if any is considered to be effectively a pastor or mentor within the church. John Wesley used a form of cell group structure which he called Class Meetings as he formed his Methodist societies into a national movement, first in Great Britain and later in the United States in the 18th Century. Cell structure There are a number of structures used to organize and coordinate multiple cells within a church. The G12 Vision consists of a leadership cell consisting of 12 people who each facilitate and lead their own cell group. The Free Market Cell Model affinity based small groups allows the topic or vehicle of the cell to vary E.g., a Basketball group, Bible study, or Prayer Group , yet retains an intensional discipleship strategy. This approach is often employed to help cells take on the gifts and passions of congregation while retaining a typical cell hierarchy. E.g., See Substance Church , Celebration Church , Seacoast Church . A Tree Network consists of multiple cell group leaders that report directly to a cell coordinator. Each cell coordinator manages multiple cells in this way, and several cell coordinators may be present in a single cell church. Additional levels of hierarchy may be added as well depending on the size of the cell church. While similar to a G 12 Structure, it is unrelated.

A small field bistratified cell , or just bistratified cell , is a retinal ganglion cell whose cell body is located in the ganglion cell layer of the retina . Bistratified cells receive their input from Bipolar cell of the retina bipolar cells and amacrine cell s. The bistratified cells project their axons through the optic nerve and optic tract to the koniocellular layers in the lateral geniculate nucleus LGN , synapsing with koniocellular cell s. Koniocellular means cells as small as dust their small size made them hard to find. About 8 to 10 of retinal ganglion cells are bistratified cells. They receive inputs from intermediate numbers of rods and cones. They have moderate spatial resolution, moderate conduction velocity, and can respond to moderate contrast stimuli. They may be involved in color vision. They have very large receptive fields that only have centers no surrounds and are always ON to the blue cone and OFF to both the red and green cone.
