Metazoa :: Metazoa (n. pl.) Those animals in which the protoplasmic mass, constituting the egg, is converted into a multitude of cells, which are metamorphosed into the tissues of the body. A central cavity is commonly developed, and the cells around it are at first arranged in two layers, -- the ectoderm and endoderm. The group comprises nearly all animals except the Protozoa..

Stereopticon :: Stereoplasm (n.) The solid or insoluble portion of the cell protoplasm. See Hygroplasm.

Ectoplasm :: Ectoplasm (n.) The outer hyaline layer of protoplasm in a vegetable cell.

Plastidule :: Plastidule (n.) One of the small particles or organic molecules of protoplasm.

Plastide :: Plastide (n.) One of the many minute granules found in the protoplasm of vegetable cells. They are divided by their colors into three classes, chloroplastids, chromoplastids, and leucoplastids..

Germogen :: Germogen (n.) A polynuclear mass of protoplasm, not divided into separate cells, from which certain ova are developed..

Plasmogen :: Plasmogen (n.) The important living portion of protoplasm, considered a chemical substance of the highest elaboration. Germ plasm and idioplasm are forms of plasmogen..

Protoplasm :: Protoplasm (n.) The viscid and more or less granular material of vegetable and animal cells, possessed of vital properties by which the processes of nutrition, secretion, and growth go forward; the so-called physical basis of life; the original cell substance, cytoplasm, cytoblastema, bioplasm sarcode, etc..

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..

Ectoplasm :: Ectoplasm (n.) The outer transparent layer of protoplasm in a developing ovum.
