Endoplasma :: Endoplasma (n.) Same as Entoplasm and Endosarc.

Homogeny :: Homogeny (n.) The correspondence of common descent; -- a term used to supersede homology by Lankester, who also used homoplasy to denote any superinduced correspondence of position and structure in parts embryonically distinct (other writers using the term homoplasmy). Thus, there is homogeny between the fore limb of a mammal and the wing of a bird; but the right and left ventricles of the heart in both are only in homoplasy with each other, these having arisen independently since the divergence

Karyoplasma :: Karyoplasma (n.) The protoplasmic substance of the nucleus of a cell: nucleoplasm; -- in opposition to kytoplasma, the protoplasm of the cell..

Myosin :: Myosin (n.) An albuminous body present in dead muscle, being formed in the process of coagulation which takes place in rigor mortis; the clot formed in the coagulation of muscle plasma. See Muscle plasma, under Plasma..

Ectoplastic :: Ectoplastic (a.) Pertaining to, or composed of, ectoplasm..

Nucleus :: Nucleus (n.) A body, usually spheroidal, in a cell or a protozoan, distinguished from the surrounding protoplasm by a difference in refrangibility and in behavior towards chemical reagents. It is more or less protoplasmic, and consists of a clear fluid (achromatin) through which extends a network of fibers (chromatin) in which may be suspended a second rounded body, the nucleolus (see Nucleoplasm). See Cell division, under Division..

Karyokinesis :: Karyokinesis (n.) The indirect division of cells in which, prior to division of the cell protoplasm, complicated changes take place in the nucleus, attended with movement of the nuclear fibrils; -- opposed to karyostenosis. The nucleus becomes enlarged and convoluted, and finally the threads are separated into two groups which ultimately become disconnected and constitute the daughter nuclei. Called also mitosis. See Cell development, under Cell..

Plasma :: Plasma (n.) The viscous material of an animal or vegetable cell, out of which the various tissues are formed by a process of differentiation; protoplasm..

Endoplasm :: Endoplasm (n.) The protoplasm in the interior of a cell.

Ovoplasma :: Ovoplasma (n.) Yolk; egg yolk.

Plasmatical :: Plasmatical (a.) Of or pertaining to plasma; having the character of plasma; containing, or conveying, plasma..

Fovilla :: Fovilla (n.) One of the fine granules contained in the protoplasm of a pollen grain.

Chromoplastid :: Chromoplastid (n.) A protoplasmic granule of some other color than green; -- also called chromoleucite.

Vacuole :: Vacuole (n.) A small air cell, or globular space, in the interior of organic cells, either containing air, or a pellucid watery liquid, or some special chemical secretions of the cell protoplasm..

Homoplasmy :: Homoplasmy (n.) Resemblance between different plants or animals, in external shape, in general habit, or in organs, which is not due to descent from a common ancestor, but to similar surrounding circumstances..

Oospere :: Oospere (n.) An analogous mass of protoplasm in the ovule of a flowering plant; an embryonic vesicle.

Exoplasm :: Exoplasm (n.) See Ectosarc, and Ectoplasm..
