Deiters' cells
Deiters' cells, also known as outer phalangeal cells or cells of Deiters (), are a cell type found within the inner ear. They contain both microfilaments and microtubules which run from the basilar membrane to the reticular membrane of the inner ear.
These cochlear supporting cells include 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).
The cells are named for neuroanatomist Otto Deiters.
