Deiters' cells
Deiter's Cells (or phalangeal cells) are a cell type found within the inner ear. It contain both micro-filaments and micro-tubules which run from the basilar membrane to the reticular membrane of the inner ear.[1] These cochlear supporting cells comprise: a somatic part with its cupula and a phalangeal process which links the Deiters soma to the reticular lamina. The part of the phalanx which is included in the reticular lamina is the apex of the phalanx (phalangeal apex).
